FAQs

Common Questions

Answers to what patients most often ask before their first appointment.

How long does treatment for depression take?
+
Most people notice meaningful improvement within 4–8 weeks. A full course of antidepressants is typically 6–12 months minimum. Stopping too early is a common cause of relapse — Dr. Sobti will manage the timeline carefully.
Are antidepressants addictive?
+
No. Modern antidepressants are not addictive. They do not cause craving or dependency. Some require gradual tapering when stopping — which Dr. Sobti will manage to avoid discontinuation symptoms.
What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a counsellor?
+
A psychiatrist is a qualified medical doctor who can diagnose and prescribe medication. A counsellor provides talk therapy only. Dr. Neha Dua Sobti is a psychiatrist — she can provide both clinical assessment and the full range of treatment options.
