Conditions we treat
Dr Vohra's treats the full range of mental health conditions in adults, adolescents and children, in person at East Patel Nagar, New Delhi, and online across India. Each page below explains what the condition is, the signs, who to see first, and how it is treated at the clinic.
Depression
Depression is a treatable medical condition, not a weakness or a mood you can snap out of.

Postpartum depression

Dementia and memory problems
Memory loss that disrupts daily life is not a normal part of ageing and deserves assessment, because some causes are treatable (depression, thyroid problems, vitamin B12 deficiency, medication effects) and because early diagnosis of dementia gives families time to plan.
