Schizophrenia Treatment in Lucknow

Expert Management of Schizophrenia & Psychotic Disorders

Schizophrenia is not just a “split personality”, it is a complex neuro-psychiatric condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. For families in Lucknow, seeing a loved one experience hallucinations such as hearing voices or delusions involving false beliefs can be deeply distressing and isolating.

Social stigma often delays timely treatment, as symptoms are frequently misunderstood as spiritual issues or behavioral problems. In reality, schizophrenia is a medical condition that requires prompt and professional psychiatric care. At our clinic in Gomti Nagar, we focus on care beyond stigma. Under the guidance of Dr. Saurabh Jaiswal, we offer a safe and non-judgmental environment where families from Aliganj, Indira Nagar, Hazratganj, and nearby areas can receive accurate diagnosis, compassionate support, and effective clinical treatment.

Why Trust Dr. Saurabh Jaiswal?

Treating schizophrenia requires a deep understanding of neuro-chemistry and patient psychology. Dr. Saurabh Jaiswal brings over a decade of rigorous experience from India’s premier mental health institutes:

Unlike general consultations, our approach combines pharmacotherapy (medication) with advanced psychological support to manage both "Positive" and "Negative" symptoms effectively.

Identifying the Signs: When to Seek Help

Early intervention significantly improves long-term recovery. If you notice these changes in a family member, it is crucial to consult a psychiatrist immediately.

1. Positive Symptoms (The "Added" Behaviors)

  • Auditory Hallucinations: Hearing voices that command them or comment on their actions
  • Paranoid Delusions: Belief of being watched, followed, or plotted against
  • Disorganized Speech: Jumping between unrelated topics or confused speech

2. Negative Symptoms (The "Loss" of Function)

  • Social Withdrawal: Avoiding friends, family, and social interaction
  • Flat Affect: Monotone speech with minimal facial expression
  • Lack of Motivation: Neglect of hygiene and daily responsibilities

3. Cognitive Issues

Difficulty with focus, memory, and decision-making. These symptoms often affect students in academic areas like Lucknow University or professionals experiencing workplace stress.

Our Comprehensive Treatment Protocol

At Dr. Saurabh Jaiswal’s clinic, we do not believe in a "sedate and suppress" approach. Our goal is functional recovery—helping the patient return to work, study, and family life.

Advanced Pharmacotherapy

Medication is the cornerstone of treating schizophrenia. We use the latest atypical antipsychotics such as Olanzapine and Risperidone, which effectively control hallucinations while causing significantly fewer side effects than older medications. Regular monitoring ensures optimal dosage, safety, and long-term treatment success.

Neuromodulation & Therapy

  • TMS Therapy: For treatment-resistant cases, we offer Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), a safe and non-invasive brain stimulation technique.
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps patients distinguish between reality and delusions, improving coping skills and daily functioning.
  • Family Psycho-Education: Schizophrenia affects the whole family. We provide structured guidance to caregivers so they can support the patient without burnout.

Start the Journey to Stability

Living with untreated schizophrenia can lead to severe complications, including substance abuse or self-harm. Do not wait for the symptoms to worsen.
