Who I help

In India, mental health issues have been trivialized or generalized. While terms like ‘depression’ and ‘anxiety’ are more talked about, other conditions like bipolar disorders, behavioural disorders are relatively new for people and now gaining attention.

 

Even if people have heard about some terms, they are unable to identify and distinguish different mental health Issues. Even if two people are suffering from same mental challenge, it is fairly possible that their symptoms and experiences and so responses may vary.

 

In consulting and treating patients, mental-health professionals examine multiple dimensions to diagnose disorders and treat with therapy or medication or both to alleviate individual from the situation or the specific disorder or challenge.
