I pursued my MD in Psychiatry at NIMHANS, one of the most esteemed institutes in the field. During my training, I gained extensive exposure to a diverse range of adult psychiatric cases, addiction disorders, and neurodevelopmental challenges. This comprehensive experience has equipped me with a deep understanding of the complex interplay between biological, psychological, and social factors that influence mental health. I adopt a patient-centered approach, integrating evidence-based practices with compassionate care to develop personalized treatment plans. My focus is on delivering holistic psychiatric care that not only addresses symptoms but also supports overall well-being. I continuously update my knowledge and skills to ensure that I am at the forefront of modern psychiatric advancements, thereby offering my patients the most current and effective treatment options available. Through a commitment to excellence in clinical practice and a passion for mental health advocacy, I strive to help each individual achieve a better quality of life and improved mental resilience.

Hello Komal. It appears that you are having symptoms suggestive of clinical depression. All the symptoms that you have mentioned like feeling depressed and anxious, irritability, lack of concentration, sleep issues are part of depression and with right help, it is very much treatable.
Management includes-
1) Medications - like SSRIs /SNRIs which may take 2-3 weeks to act and may be required to continue for 6-9 months.
2) Psychotherapy alone or along with medications
3) Mindfulness
4) Lifestyle changes and proper sleep hygiene.
Kindly contact nearest psychiatrist for further assessment and management.
