Schizophrenia Treatment in Mumbai
Expert Psychiatric Care by Dr. Somil Savla, MD Psychiatry (Gold Medalist)
Schizophrenia is a serious mental health condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, and perceives reality. It can cause hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thoughts, and social withdrawal—deeply impacting the person’s relationships, functioning, and quality of life.
At his Mumbai-based psychiatric clinic, Dr. Somil Savla offers structured and compassionate care for individuals living with schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. With years of clinical experience and a patient-first approach, he helps patients regain stability, manage symptoms, and improve day-to-day functioning.
Understanding Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is not split personality or a moral failing—it is a neurobiological disorder often beginning in late adolescence or early adulthood. While its exact cause is unknown, it is linked to a combination of genetics, brain chemistry, and environmental stress.
Common symptoms include:
- Delusions (strong false beliefs not based in reality)
- Hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that aren’t there)
- Disorganized speech or behavior
- Social withdrawal or lack of motivation
- Reduced ability to think clearly or express emotions
These symptoms may appear gradually or suddenly, and if left untreated, can lead to a decline in functioning and long-term disability.
When to See a Psychiatrist
Seek immediate psychiatric support if you or someone you know is experiencing:
- Talking to or reacting to unseen people or sounds
- Suspiciousness, fear, or paranoia toward others
- Unusual or disorganized behavior
- Sudden social isolation or emotional flatness
- Decline in academic or work performance
- Difficulty distinguishing between reality and imagination
Early diagnosis and treatment significantly improve outcomes and prevent relapse.
When to See a Psychiatrist
You should consult a psychiatrist if you or a loved one:
- Spends more than one hour a day on obsessive thoughts or compulsive actions
- Feels unable to control repetitive thoughts or behaviors
- Avoids situations due to fear of triggering obsessions
- Experiences distress, shame, or functional impairment due to OCD
- Has tried to stop but experiences a return of symptoms
Early diagnosis and structured therapy can lead to lasting improvement.
