Depression & Somatization in Neurology
Depression & Somatization in Neurology Treatment Range
Treatment Range Hospital in Hyderabad provides expert care for patients experiencing depression and somatization—physical symptoms with an underlying emotional or psychological cause. Our team of neurologists and mental health specialists work together to diagnose and manage these conditions using a combination of SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) and supportive therapies. As one of the leading hospitals for neuropsychiatric care in Hyderabad, we focus on treating both the mind and body for holistic recovery.
Our approach includes detailed assessments to differentiate between neurological and psychosomatic symptoms, followed by personalized treatment plans. This may involve medications for mood stabilization, psychotherapy, stress management, and lifestyle modifications to reduce the physical impact of emotional distress. Our goal is to help patients break the cycle of unexplained pain and discomfort, leading to improved mental and physical well-being.
