- Psycho-Diagnostic Assessments
Personality tests
Personality tests are psychological tools used to assess an individual’s character traits, emotional patterns, and behavioral tendencies. At Dr. Shilpa Shukla’s clinic, these assessments help in gaining a deeper understanding of a person’s innate personality, which can influence their mental health and relationships. By identifying traits like introversion, extroversion, or emotional stability, we tailor therapeutic approaches to meet individual needs. These tests aid in personal growth, improving self-awareness, and helping clients navigate challenges in their personal and professional lives.
Depression Scales
Depression scales are standardized tools used to measure the severity of depressive symptoms, including mood changes, lack of motivation, fatigue, and negative thinking. At Dr. Shilpa Shukla’s clinic, these scales assist in diagnosing depression and monitoring progress over time. By understanding the depth of a client’s depressive state, we develop customized treatment plans to help manage symptoms effectively and promote long-term mental well-being through therapy, counseling, and coping strategies.
OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) Scales
OCD scales measure the frequency and intensity of obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, which can disrupt daily life. These assessments help clinicians at Dr. Shilpa Shukla’s clinic understand the impact of OCD on a client’s mental health and functionality. The results guide personalized treatment plans, which may include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure response prevention (ERP), and coping strategies, all aimed at reducing the symptoms and improving the client’s quality of life.
Anxiety Scales
Anxiety scales are used to evaluate the severity and impact of anxiety-related symptoms such as excessive worry, fear, and physical tension. These assessments are vital for diagnosing anxiety disorders and creating a detailed treatment plan at Dr. Shilpa Shukla’s clinic. By understanding the intensity of a client’s anxiety, we provide tailored therapeutic interventions, including mindfulness-based therapies, CBT, and relaxation techniques, to help clients manage their symptoms and improve overall emotional well-being.
AUDIT (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test) Scale
The AUDIT scale is a screening tool that evaluates alcohol consumption patterns, identifying harmful drinking behaviors and potential alcohol use disorders. At Dr. Shilpa Shukla’s clinic, we use the AUDIT scale to assess the severity of alcohol-related issues and guide interventions. By understanding a client’s relationship with alcohol, we can offer personalized treatment plans that may include counseling, behavioral therapies, and support systems to promote recovery and healthier lifestyle choices.
Thematic Apperception Test (TAT)
The Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) is a projective test used to explore a person’s underlying emotions, desires, and conflicts by interpreting stories they create about ambiguous images. At Dr. Shilpa Shukla’s clinic, TAT helps in uncovering unconscious thought processes and deeper emotional issues. This insight supports the diagnosis and treatment of complex psychological conditions, allowing us to develop tailored therapeutic approaches that address a client’s specific emotional challenges and enhance their mental well-being.
