Dear Doctor , I have been suggested to take my son to a phyciatrist to bring him to normal situation but He is refusing to consult any doctor. Please suggest me what has to be done or please help me out with phone number of any good phyciatrist from bhubaneshwar, India
Hi, firstly how old is your son and what is his problem? Do not nag hin. Have light hearted positive discussions with him and try to gently know what is in his mind. If there are severe behavioural disorders then urgent psychatric consultation must be done.
It is a tricky situation faced by many relatives of patients with psychiatric illness. The main problem usually Is that patients are not aware of their illness. Here are some things you can do. Try getting some help from other family members, especially those who are trusted by patient. Try to Convince your son to consult a doctor for unrelated physical problem like headache or indigestion. Ask your son to accompany you for your check up. If these are not helpful, then try meeting a psychiatrist by yourself and discuss what can be done depending on your son's problem.
