Psychiatry is a branch of medicine but it is quite different from other branches. Like other branches of medicine, it is not only about prescribing medicine but it assesses a person as a whole and tries to alleviate a person,s problem in a holistic way. The bond between a patient and a psychiatrist is much more and stronger in it. Psychiatry is still a growing field in India , and With the advent of media and awareness , lot more people are now familiar with the psychiatric illnesses. But still the bridge is too large. The patient and the caregiver both have to fight not only the illness but also stigma attached to it .
My work as a psychiatrist is to make patient and family members comfortable by making them understand the mental illness and formulating a treatment plan. Recently there has been much advance in field of psychiatry and now we have many medicines and therapy for a single illness. My aim is to optimize the type of medicine and its dose according to the need of the patient which may suit him best.
I did my MBBS from Indra Gandhi Government medical college, Nagpur in year 2007 and post graduation from, G B Pant Hospital , Maulana Azad medical college , New Delhi in Year 2010. G B Pant hospital is one the esteemed hospital and tertiary care referral centers in delhi. I have now more than 10 years of experience in the field of psychiatry.
Also I am a Fellow member of both Indian Psychiatry Society and Indian Association of Private psychiatry.
Lot of patients and families suffer just because of lack of knowledge and awareness about mental illnesses. It takes several months or even years , before reaching to a psychiatrist and diagnosis of the condition. Sometimes it becomes too late also. My aim is also to make people aware about psychiatric illnesses and treatment for the same.
