Understanding anxiety and OCD:
Anxiety disorders involve persistent, excessive worry disproportionate to the situation, often with physical symptoms such as restlessness or difficulty sleeping. OCD involves intrusive, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviours or mental acts (compulsions) performed to reduce the anxiety those thoughts cause. Both are distinct, treatable psychiatric conditions that benefit from accurate diagnosis before starting treatment.
How Dr. Agarwal approaches this:
Anxiety disorders and OCD are both among Dr. Agarwal's listed specialisations, alongside her broader practice in bipolar disorder and sleep disorders — conditions that frequently overlap with anxiety and OCD. Her neuropsychiatry background supports a thorough assessment where symptoms may have overlapping causes.

What to expect:
An in-clinic consultation (₹500) typically involves a detailed discussion of symptoms, their duration and impact on daily life, and a treatment plan tailored to the specific diagnosis.
