Sleep Disorders — Dr. Kritika Agarwal
Psychiatrist for Sleep Disorders in Gaya — Dr. Kritika Agarwal
Dr. Kritika Agarwal is a consultant psychiatrist in Gaya who treats sleep disorders. She is MBBS and MD (Psychiatry) qualified from Lady Hardinge Medical College, New Delhi, and also holds a DNB in Psychiatry. She offers in-clinic consultations at ₹500.
Understanding sleep disorders:
Persistent difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking unrefreshed can be linked to an underlying psychiatric condition such as anxiety or bipolar disorder, rather than a standalone problem. A psychiatrist can assess whether sleep issues are connected to a mood or anxiety disorder, or require separate treatment, and can also consider neurological contributions to sleep disturbance.
How Dr. Agarwal approaches this:
Sleep disorders are among Dr. Agarwal's listed specialisations, alongside anxiety disorders and bipolar disorder — conditions that frequently disrupt sleep and are often assessed together. Her background in neuropsychiatry is relevant when sleep disturbance may have a neurological component alongside psychiatric factors.
Who this is for:
Relevant if you're dealing with ongoing insomnia, disrupted sleep patterns, or sleep problems linked to anxiety, mood changes, or an underlying condition that hasn't been formally assessed.
What to expect:
An in-clinic consultation (₹500) typically involves a detailed sleep history and assessment of related psychiatric symptoms, followed by a tailored treatment plan.
