Picture this! You go to a well known private practitioner of your area (who is NOT a psychiatrist) because you are having free floating generalised 24*7 anxiety and palpitations for a while now, and after paying Rs. 1800/- for the consult, you get: 1) ZERO lab tests done (could it be a sign of vitamin deficiencies? Could it be your malfunctioning thyroid? Could it be anemia? ECG? You are a woman afterall! It could very well be all of the above!) 2)Tab. Risperidone 2mg HS 3) Tab. Amisulpride 100mg HS 4) Tab. Clonazepam 0.5mg HS 5) Tab. Sodium Valproate 500mg BD And on the day you start these medicines (all together, MIND YOU!), you feel dizzy and fall in the metro! (None of these medications were needed for this patient. And the medication and therapy that WAS needed was never started) Your own perceptions about why you should NOT go to a psychiatrist is only going to hurt you, not a psychiatrist (we have a population of 148 crores, afterall)

You would be SHOCKED to learn how many in-laws forcefully bring their daughter in-laws to psychiatry OPD to get them diagnosed with one or the other thing, and more often than not- the daughter in-laws do NOT have any diagnosable mental illness. Twice this has happened- that the law has followed up for documents of said daughter in-laws after their demise- as the in-laws suggested she was mentally ill. (When infact- she was distressed due to THEM). Make of it what you want to. 👍

I LOVE VAR ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

For somebody who has been in Delhi: AIIMS D >> NIMHANS >>>>>> Heavily biased, of course Delhi specific, AIIMS D >> IHBAS (used to be extremely toxic, dont know current status) > RML>LHMC> UCMS (if you are getting mamc, change state or take a drop)

Should Kohli be retired out now? Surely @RCBTweets need Tim David or Romario in the middle! #MIvsRCB #IPL #ViratKohli

My MD thesis was on ADHD and social media addiction. A lot of the parents would often ask me if they can try tDCS on their kids(OUR kids to be specific ☭) to improve their attention/concentration, and I would often tell them that I dont know but would read up and get back to them. I did read up eventually, got tDCS on my OWN head, and I am happy to report that it did nothing for me. Nothing good, nothing bad. Theres a minuscule risk of seizures, and your doctor will certainly ask you relevant questions before starting you on it. I wouldnt spend my money on it. But if youre getting to try it under a project at a government/private run facility, give it a try after due diligence. And then decide wether you would want to spend on an at-home device! #MedX
