About OJAS
A psychiatry institute-cum-counselling centre.
OJAS provides holistic psychiatric and psychological care for people living with mental disorders — with treatment, counselling and psychotherapy under one roof.
Our story
OJAS was founded with a clear purpose: to reduce the stigma attached to psychiatric illness in our communities, so that people seek help early and go on to lead normal, happy lives.
We work with patients facing psychiatric illness, drug addiction, sexual disorders, epilepsy, dementia and childhood behavioural problems. Psychiatric care here combines medical treatment with counselling and psychotherapy — because medicine alone is rarely the whole answer.
For people living far away, and for follow-ups that don’t need a clinic visit, we offer safe and secure teleconsultation by video call.
What we believe
- Mental health care is healthcare — nothing more, nothing less.
- Every consultation is private and free of judgement.
- Families are partners in recovery, with your consent.
- Explaining the “why” behind a treatment is part of the treatment.
