MEET YOUR SPECIALIST
Dr. Snehal Thamke
Psychiatrist — Women’s Mental Health & Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
ABOUT YOUR DOCTOR
Treatment that starts with understanding the person.
I am a psychiatrist with a special interest in women’s mental health and child and adolescent psychiatry. My work involves helping individuals navigate a wide range of emotional, behavioural and psychiatric concerns at different stages of life. To me, psychiatry is not simply about diagnosing an illness or prescribing medication — it is about understanding the person, their experiences, relationships and circumstances, and how these shape their mental well-being.
My approach begins with listening without judgement and understanding each patient’s concerns, symptoms and individual needs. I believe that seeking mental health support should never be associated with shame or stigma. I aim to create a space where patients feel comfortable speaking openly, understand what they are experiencing, and actively participate in decisions about their treatment.
With close to a decade of experience after completing my MD in Psychiatry, my clinical practice includes the assessment and management of mood disorders, anxiety, OCD, stress-related difficulties, sleep concerns, addiction-related problems and other psychiatric conditions. I have a particular interest in women’s mental health and child and adolescent psychiatry, with an emphasis on personalised, evidence-based care that treats the person, not just the diagnosis.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common questions about psychiatric care.
What happens during my first psychiatric visit?
Your first visit involves a comprehensive, judgment-free conversation about your current struggles, medical history, and mental health goals. The psychiatrist will ask detailed questions to formulate an initial diagnosis and collaboratively discuss a proposed treatment plan.
Will I definitely need medication if I see a psychiatrist?
Not necessarily. While psychiatrists are medical doctors who can prescribe medication, they will only recommend it if it is clinically indicated for your specific condition. Treatment often involves a customized combination of therapy, lifestyle changes, and medication if needed.
How often will I need to attend appointments for medication management?
Initially, appointments may be scheduled every 2 to 4 weeks to closely monitor any side effects and gauge the medication’s clinical efficacy. Once your condition is stable, follow-ups typically occur every 3 to 6 months to maintain optimal health.
Is what I say during the psychiatric assessment completely confidential?
Yes, your privacy is strictly protected by stringent medical confidentiality laws. Information is only shared with other healthcare providers involved in your care if you provide explicit consent, except in rare, legally mandated emergencies where safety is at severe risk.
Can a psychiatrist help with both mental illness and emotional distress?
Absolutely. Psychiatrists are extensively trained to understand the complex relationship between emotional distress and biological brain chemistry, offering comprehensive treatments that effectively address both the psychological and medical factors of mental health.
