Get Started
Booking takes a minute. Share your name and number and a member of our clinical team calls you back — usually within the hour — to understand what you are going through and answer your questions before you commit to anything.
Your first consultation is a private conversation, not a commitment to admission. We listen, assess, and explain the options honestly — outpatient sessions, therapy, medication review, or inpatient care where it is genuinely needed.
We see patients at our Sector 117, Noida centre, and online consultations are available if travelling is difficult. Everything you tell us stays confidential.
Expertise meets empathy. Our world-class team is here for you.
Confrontation and ultimatums very often harden a refusal. What tends to work better is persistence without judgement: staying in contact, treating the person as an adult, and linking help to something they actually want — sleeping properly, keeping their job, seeing their children.
It also helps to lower the first step. "Come and talk to a doctor once, and you can walk away afterwards" is a far easier thing to agree to than "go to rehab".
Families can be coached in this. You can consult a psychiatrist about how to approach someone who is refusing, even before that person has agreed to anything.
India’s Mental Healthcare Act, 2017 replaced the older legislation and rewrote the framework around the rights of the person being treated. Two ideas matter most to families.
The first is that treatment should be the least restrictive option that meets the person’s needs. Admission is not the default; it has to be justified.
The second is that where an adult’s illness is severe enough that they cannot make treatment decisions and they cannot be cared for safely otherwise, the Act provides for admission with the support of a nominated representative and the assessment of mental health professionals. Such an admission is time-limited and subject to review by a Mental Health Review Board.
The Act also decriminalised attempted suicide, treating it as a sign of severe distress requiring care rather than a crime. That matters: families sometimes avoid seeking help after an attempt because they fear legal consequences.
You cannot simply have an adult taken away, and you should be wary of any service that suggests otherwise. Forced "pick-up" services operating outside this framework are a serious red flag.
What you can do is arrange a proper psychiatric assessment, involve the person as far as their condition allows, and let the clinical and legal process take its course if the situation is that severe.
