PATIENT REVIEWS
We care deeply for our patients and aim to help each one achieve their best health. Here are some of the reviews from our satisfied clients.
PSYCHIATRIC CONDITIONS We Treat
Our psychiatrists at Fairway Clinic diagnose and treat the full spectrum of psychiatric disorders. Below are the most common conditions we see at our clinic:
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
PTSD develops after a person experiences or witnesses a traumatic event such as an accident, assault, natural disaster or combat. Symptoms include flashbacks, nightmares, emotional numbness, hypervigilance and avoidance of anything connected to the trauma. Psychiatric treatment for PTSD may include medication to manage anxiety, sleep disturbances and mood symptoms, combined with trauma-focused therapy from our psychologists.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
OCD involves intrusive, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) that drive repetitive behaviours (compulsions). Common patterns include contamination fears with excessive washing, repeated checking of locks or appliances, need for symmetry or ordering, and disturbing intrusive thoughts. While therapy (particularly ERP) is a key treatment for OCD, many patients also benefit from psychiatric medication such as SSRIs. Our psychiatrists work alongside our psychologists to provide combined treatment.
Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety disorders include generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, social anxiety and specific phobias. Symptoms can range from persistent worry and restlessness to full panic attacks with chest pain, shortness of breath and a feeling of losing control. When anxiety becomes severe enough to interfere with work, relationships or daily functioning, psychiatric treatment is recommended. Our psychiatrists may prescribe anti-anxiety medication for short-term relief while also recommending therapy for long-term management.
Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a serious psychiatric condition that affects how a person thinks, feels and perceives reality. Symptoms include hallucinations (hearing or seeing things that are not there), delusions (strongly held false beliefs), disorganized thinking and social withdrawal. Schizophrenia requires specialist psychiatric treatment, typically involving antipsychotic medication and ongoing monitoring. Our doctors work closely with families to develop care plans that support long-term recovery.
Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder causes extreme shifts in mood, energy and activity levels. A person may experience manic episodes (feeling abnormally energetic, impulsive, or euphoric) followed by depressive episodes (feeling extremely low, unmotivated and hopeless). Managing bipolar disorder requires ongoing psychiatric care, including mood stabilizers and regular medication reviews. We provide long-term management plans to help patients maintain stability.
Personality Disorders
Personality disorders, including borderline personality disorder (BPD) and antisocial personality disorder, involve long-standing patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving that differ significantly from what is expected. These patterns cause distress and problems in relationships, work and daily life. Our psychiatrists assess personality disorders carefully, manage co-occurring conditions like depression or anxiety, and coordinate with our psychology team for long-term therapy.
Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
ADHD affects concentration, impulse control and activity levels in both children and adults. Symptoms include difficulty focusing, forgetfulness, restlessness and impulsive decision-making. A psychiatrist can conduct a thorough assessment, rule out other conditions that mimic ADHD, and prescribe medication when appropriate. We also offer behavioural strategies through our psychology team for a combined approach.
Dissociative Identity Disorder
Previously known as Multiple Personality Disorder, DID involves the presence of two or more distinct identity states within one person. It typically develops as a response to severe childhood trauma. Treatment requires specialist psychiatric care with long-term therapy. Our psychiatrists manage the condition with medication for co-occurring symptoms and coordinate with psychologists for trauma-focused therapy.
Addiction & Substance Use Disorder
Addiction to drugs, alcohol, prescription medication, nicotine or other substances is a psychiatric condition that requires professional treatment. We offer assessment, medication-assisted treatment for withdrawal and cravings, and referral to our rehabilitation center for patients who need structured inpatient care. We treat addiction as a medical condition, not a moral failing. .
Depression
Depression is more than just sadness; it is a persistent condition that affects mood, energy, sleep, appetite and the ability to carry out daily activities. Many people in Pakistan live with depression for years without seeking help, often because they do not recognize it as a medical condition. By assessing the severity of depression, we can identify whether medication is needed and create a treatment plan that may include antidepressants, therapy referrals to our psychologists, or a combination of both.
Psychiatric Services at Fairway Clinic
At Fairway Clinic, we not only treat psychiatric diseases, but we are also specialized in other psychiatry services such as
Psychiatric Assessment & Diagnosis
A thorough psychiatric assessment is the first step in treatment. Our psychiatrists take a detailed history of your symptoms, medical background, family history and current medications. Based on this assessment, they provide an accurate diagnosis and discuss a treatment plan with you. If diagnostic tests (blood work, brain imaging) are needed, we can arrange them through our affiliated hospitals.
Medication Management
Our psychiatrists prescribe and manage One of the key differences between a psychiatrist and a psychologist is that psychiatrists can prescribe and manage psychiatric medication. This includes antidepressants, anti-anxiety medication, mood stabilizers, antipsychotics and ADHD medication. Our psychiatrists carefully monitor how you respond to medication, adjust dosages as needed, and manage any side effects. If you are already on psychiatric medication prescribed elsewhere and want a review, our psychiatrists can provide a second opinion and medication reassessment.
Rehab Center Treatment
Patients struggling with addiction can be referred to our rehabilitation center in Lahore, where they receive structured treatment including detoxification support, counselling, and relapse prevention planning under the supervision of our psychiatric team.
Telepsychiatry
We offer confidential video consultations for patients who cannot visit our clinic in person. Online psychiatric consultations are available for new assessments, medication reviews and follow-up appointments. This service is particularly useful for overseas Pakistanis in the UK, USA, Canada, UAE, Saudi Arabia and other countries who need psychiatric care in Urdu or English.

When Should You See a Psychiatrist?
Not every mental health concern requires a psychiatrist. Here is a guide to help you decide: See a psychiatrist if your symptoms are severe enough to significantly disrupt daily life. This means that you are unable to work, maintain relationships, or carry out basic activities. You have been experiencing symptoms for weeks or months with no improvement. You think you might benefit from medication, or you are already on medication and need it reviewed. You are experiencing psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations or delusions. You or a family member is dealing with addiction and needs a medical assessment. You are in a mental health crisis or having thoughts of self-harm.
See a psychologist if your concerns are related to emotional or behavioural challenges that can be addressed through talk therapy, such as relationship issues, grief, stress, mild anxiety or phobias. Psychologists do not prescribe medication but use therapeutic techniques like CBT.
Not sure? Call us at +92 309 5990667, and our team will help you decide which consultant is right for your situation. In many cases, patients benefit from seeing both a psychiatrist and a psychologist.
What to Expect at Your First Psychiatric Appointment
If you have never seen a psychiatrist before, here is what typically happens during your first visit to Fairway Clinic: Your psychiatrist will conduct an initial assessment lasting approximately 30-45 minutes. They will ask about your current symptoms, how long you have been experiencing them, your medical history, any current medications, family history of mental health conditions, and how your symptoms are affecting your daily life.
Based on this assessment, your psychiatrist will explain their diagnosis (or suspected diagnosis if further evaluation is needed), discuss treatment options, and answer any questions you have. If medication is recommended, they will explain what the medication does, how to take it, the expected timeline for improvement, and potential side effects. Follow-up appointments are typically scheduled every 2-4 weeks initially, then spaced further apart once your condition stabilizes. All consultations are strictly confidential.
