Dr. Bindu Madhuri
Experience: | 15 years |
Education: | Dr. NTR University Of Health Sciences |
Academic degree: | MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) |
Area of specialization: | I am a psychiatrist and my main work is around counselling and guiding ppl toward proper mental well being. Over time I dealt with wide range of cases — depression that drags for months, anxiety that keeps patients awake at night, OCD where small thoughts spin out of control. I also work with alcohol use and other drug addictions, cause those don’t just affect the body but break families too. Suicidal ideas come up more often than many think, and handling those moments need patience and calm, sometimes just being there matter more than any pill.
I see a lot of students too, struggling with study pressure and exam stress, which feels small to outsiders but for them it’s huge. Family conflicts, couples drifting apart, constant fights — counselling in those areas makes a difference when people feel they got no one neutral to talk to. Therapy in my view isn’t about giving perfect answers, it’s about creating space where someone can breathe, cry, or admit what they can’t say outside.
I don’t claim to fix everything fast, mental health takes time and sometimes messy steps back. But I try to keep approach real, explaining things simply, mixing counselling with right medication when needed. Each patient come with their own story, and for me that story is as important as diagnosis. |
Achievements: | I am working as a lady psychaitrist for around 10 yrs now, and when ppl ask me about achievements I don’t count medals or certificates, I think more of the faces I saw getting better. My biggest satisfaction come from patients who walk in broken and slowly start finding balance again. For me improving the quality of life of my patients is the real award, whether it is someone battling depression, anxiety, addiction or a family struggling with conflict. Each small step forward feels like a genuine success. |
I am working in the field of medicine for around 14 yrs now after completing my MBBS, most of this time in govt setups where the workload is high and the patient variety is endless. Govt hospitals really show you everything — from a simple viral fever to complicated chronic illness that had gone untreated for years because access was poor. That environment trained me to think quick, act practical, and still keep patience when things get chaotic. Over these years I managed both acute and chronic health problems, and I also keep a role as kind of family doctor for many, helping them with day-to-day medical issues, explaining treatment in simple words, sometimes just guiding them on lifestyle corrections instead of jumping to medicines. Basic but important stuff — BP checks, diabetes follow up, seasonal infections, gastric complaints, chest problems, small injuries, the list never stop. Being in govt setup also made me understand the social side of illness, where not every patient can afford costly tests or brand new drugs, and you have to balance ideal medicine with what is actually possible for them. I like to approach patients without rushing. First listen, then connect their complaints with what could be going wrong inside, then suggest clear steps that they can follow at home or with minimal resources. Preventive care is also something I try to highlight whenever possible — regular checkups, vaccines, screening tests — cause I saw how much harder it gets when disease is picked too late. Some days are long, messy, and I go back wondering if I could have done better. Other days bring small wins, like a diabetic patient finally bringing sugars into range or a child recovering from a bad infection. Those moments keep me steady. At this stage, I feel confident in handling a wide range of health problems, while also knowing there’s always more to learn. I continue to serve both as a physician and at the same time as a family doctor, keeping care simple, clear, and reachable for the people who trust me.
