Qualifications & Registration

Depression — Gurugram & Online

Persistent low mood, loss of interest, fatigue, and hopelessness are hallmarks of depression. Dr. Uikey assesses and treats all forms — including treatment-resistant depression, postpartum depression, and recurrent depressive disorder — using pharmacotherapy and evidence-based psychotherapy.

Anxiety Disorders — Gurugram & Online

Whether it is generalised anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, or specific phobias, Dr. Uikey offers targeted treatment that addresses the root cause — not just the symptoms. Medication, CBT-based approaches, and relaxation strategies are combined as needed.

ADHD in Adults — Gurugram & Online

Adult ADHD is frequently missed or misdiagnosed. Dr. Uikey conducts thorough assessments using validated tools (including the ASRS), followed by personalised management combining medication, psychoeducation, and behavioural strategies tailored to the demands of professional life in India.

OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) — Gurugram & Online

OCD can be debilitating but is highly treatable with the right approach. Dr. Uikey uses evidence-based pharmacotherapy alongside CBT-informed interventions, avoiding the common pitfall of reassurance-based treatment that inadvertently worsens OCD.

Bipolar Disorder (BPAD) — Gurugram & Online

Bipolar Affective Disorder requires careful, long-term management. Dr. Uikey specialises in mood stabilisation, relapse prevention, and helping patients maintain function and quality of life across both depressive and manic phases.

Psychosis & Schizophrenia — Gurugram & Online

First-episode psychosis, schizophrenia, and related conditions require urgent and specialist care. Dr. Uikey's training at AIIMS Delhi included extensive inpatient and outpatient management of psychotic disorders, including both acute stabilisation and long-term rehabilitation.

Sleep Disorders — Gurugram & Online

Insomnia, hypersomnia, and circadian rhythm disorders are closely linked to mental health. Dr. Uikey provides evidence-based psychiatric management of sleep disorders, addressing both the sleep condition and any co-occurring anxiety or depression.

Addiction & Substance Use — Gurugram & Online

With training at the National Drug Dependence Treatment Centre (NDDTC), AIIMS Ghaziabad, Dr. Uikey has specialist experience managing alcohol use disorder, opioid dependence, cannabis dependence, and other substance use disorders — including dual diagnosis cases.

Conditions Treated in Gurugram & Online

During his residency at AIIMS Delhi, Dr. Uikey trained in neuromodulation — a class of psychiatric treatment available at very few centres in Gurgaon or Delhi NCR:

  • Modified Electroconvulsive Therapy (mECT) — For severe, treatment-resistant depression and acute psychosis. Safe under modern anaesthesia with no pain.

  • Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) — Non-invasive treatment for depression and OCD using targeted magnetic pulses.

  • Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) — Emerging, non-invasive neuromodulation for mood and cognitive disorders.

  • Ketamine Therapy — For severe depression, suicidality and severe OCD.

These treatments represent the cutting edge of biological psychiatry in India and are typically only available at AIIMS, PGI, and select private centres.

Research & Publications

Dr. Uikey believes that the right diagnosis, given adequate time and attention, is already half the treatment. Every consultation begins with a thorough psychiatric assessment — biological, psychological, and social — before any recommendation is made.

Treatment is always personalised. Depending on what is clinically indicated, care may include:

  • Pharmacotherapy — Careful medication selection based on evidence, not habit

  • Psychoeducation — Helping patients and families understand the condition fully

  • Psychotherapy — CBT, supportive therapy, and motivational interventions as appropriate

  • Lifestyle strategies — Sleep, exercise, and stress regulation as part of the treatment plan

  • Neuromodulation — mECT, rTMS, or tDCS where clinically indicated and available

All consultations are strictly confidential.
