“Is there a name for what we are seeing at home?” A worried spouse asks this on a late evening call. Their loved one is forgetting words, sleeping in bursts, and avoiding friends. If you relate to this—from Khidirpur or Howrah, from Jadavpur or Dum Dum—you are not alone. Many families across Kolkata look for clear answers and steady care, not guesswork.
I am Dr. Sagnik Mukherjee. At the Mental Health Research Centre (MHRC), our team walks with you from the first assessment to sustained recovery. This article explains what neuropsychiatric services you can get here and why people from Tollygunge, Behala, Garia, Kasba, Ballygunge, Park Street, Esplanade, and even from Baranagar, Rajarhat, New Town, Sonarpur, Baruipur, Shibpur, Santragachi, and Uluberia travel to us for care that is both humane and science-led.
Neuropsychiatry—what it means and who it helps
Neuropsychiatry sits at the bridge between brain and mind. It looks at conditions where neurological changes and mental health symptoms meet. At MHRC we assess and treat mood and anxiety disorders, OCD, ADHD, Tourette’s, trauma-related problems, schizophrenia spectrum disorders, sleep issues, epilepsy-related behavioural concerns, Parkinson’s-related mood and cognition change, memory disorders, and post-stroke changes. Global data tell us that mental disorders affect about one in eight people, which shows why timely, evidence-based help matters for every city, including Kolkata.
Why MHRC stands apart
Research-driven care. We link day-to-day clinical decisions with current science. Our treatment algorithms, audit tools, and review boards keep care aligned with what high-quality trials show.
Evidence-based treatments. Medication plans, structured psychotherapies, and neuromodulation protocols follow published guidance and measurable outcomes rather than opinion.
Advanced methods with a warm touch. You meet a clinician who listens first. Then we select tests and treatments that fit you, not the other way round.
As a practising clinician in Kolkata, I aim to be the Best Neuropsychiatrist you would trust for careful diagnosis and steady follow-through—supported by a team that shares the same focus on results and respect.
Our full care portfolio
1) Diagnostic assessments and brain health testing
- Detailed neuropsychiatric interview and structured rating scales.
- Cognitive screening and neuropsychological testing when needed.
- Neuroimaging pathways (MRI/CT/PET through partner centres), EEG for seizure-linked concerns, and lab panels to rule out reversible causes.
Patients reach us by Metro (Tollygunge, Rabindra Sarobar, Park Street, Esplanade, Dum Dum) or via the EM Bypass from Bidhannagar and New Town—choose whichever is easiest for you.
2) Treatment options that work together
- Medication management. We plan the smallest effective dose, review side-effects, and monitor progress on validated scales.
- Psychotherapy. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), trauma-focused work, family therapy, and habit-reversal training for tics and OCD features. Large reviews show CBT matches medicines in the short term and can keep gains longer.
- Neuromodulation. For some people with depression or OCD, rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) is a non-invasive option. Meta-analyses report response and remission advantages over sham treatment.
3) Specialist programmes
- Mood and Anxiety Recovery Programme. For depression, panic, social anxiety, and OCD.
- Attention and Learning Clinic. We have had special ADHD care for students and working professionals from campuses around Jadavpur, Park Street, and Salt Lake (Bidhannagar).
- Memory and Healthy Ageing Clinic. Assessment of mild cognitive impairment and dementia with family guidance.
- Seizure-Linked Behaviour Clinic. For epilepsy with mood, sleep, or attention change.
At each step you see a clinician you can count on—a Best Neuropsychiatrist supported by therapists and care coordinators who keep everyone on the same page.
Research woven into practice
We read, present, and build on current studies, then fold that learning into your plan. When suitable, we also help you consider safe and ethical participation in clinical studies that match your condition and goals. This is how we keep care current without losing sight of comfort and consent.
