From Mental Disorder To Mental Health

It is a well known fact that more than 25% of patients seen by family physicians have some diagnosable mental disorder/illness. This view is also endorsed by a recent WHO study. We need to be conscious of the fact that family physicians have not been adequately trained in psychology during their study course. The family physicians are also not in a position to spend adequate time with the disturbed or psychologically/emotionally ill patients and their families, as they have to treat many others with different physical illnesses. Moreover, the myths, misconceptions and superstitions prevailing in the community about mental health make the task more difficult.

The burden of mental illness on health and productivity in India and throughout the world has long been underestimated. Data developed by the massive Global Burden of Disease study conducted by the World Health Organization, the World Bank, and Harvard University, reveal that mental illness, including suicide, ranks second, (after all cardiovascular conditions put together), i.e., accounts for over 15 percent of the burden of disease in established market economies, such as the United States. This is more than the disease burden caused by all cancers.


My Mission
As a practicing psychologist/psychotherapist and hypnotherapist, it is my endeavor to help maximum patients as well as general people to get rid of mental disturbances, especially, depression, addiction, anxiety/fear, sexual problem and high stress/tension of modern life.  This in turn will make them peaceful, mentally healthy and thereby happy. Improved mental health, eventually leads to improved physical health.
