Dr. Akshay Garg
Experience: | 3 years |
Education: | Subharti University |
Academic degree: | MD (Doctor of Medicine) |
Area of specialization: | I am mainly working with patients who struggle with depression and anxiety, those two are very common yet every person comes with such a diff story. I also specialise in bipolar disorder and OCD, where treatment often require mix of medication and therapy, sometimes feels like trial and error but with patience we usually find a balance. Substance use is another big part of my practice, whether alcohol, opioids or other forms of addiction, I focus on structured recovery but also on small day to day changes that make it possible to hold on.
Child and adolescent issues are close to my heart, working with young patients bring unique challenges, sometimes the symptoms are not clear, sometimes the family dynamic makes things complicated.. yet helping a kid or teen regain confidence is very rewarding. I also see many patients with premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction, and I try to keep the conversation open and without judgement, cause these problems are often hidden under shame and silence.
Overall my work is to connect clinical psychiatry with real human lives, I don’t just look at diagnosis on paper but try to see how it affect daily routine, sleep, study, work, relations. That’s the part that keep me grounded, knowing every treatment is not only about pills but also about trust and consistency. |
Achievements: | I am a member of the Indian association of psychiatry, which for me is not just a title but a way to stay connected with peers, new ideas, and ongoing research. Being part of this group help me to keep updated on evolving guidelines, share my own clinical expereince, and learn from others who deal with the same complex cases everyday. It also give me space to discuss challenges openly.. sometimes the kind of conversations you dont always get outside such a forum. |
I am a medical doctor who has always been deeply intrested in mental health and the complex ways it affects people’s lives. I completed my MBBS from PGIMS Rohtak, where I built the strong foundation of clinical medicine and patient care. After that I went on to do my MD in Psychiatry, which gave me both academic knowledge and hands-on experience in diagnosing and managing a wide range of psychiatric conditions. During this time I worked closely with patients struggling with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders and more severe mental health issues, and I began to realize how much careful listening, empathy, and patience matter in this field. I also pursued a Post Doctoral Fellowship (PDF) in Addiction Psychiatry, because I felt this area needed even more focused care. Addiction is not just about substance use—it impacts families, communities, and society as a whole. Through this training, I worked on cases related to alcohol, opioids, and behavioral addictions, learning both the pharmacological and psychotherapeutic approaches to treatment. This experience gave me a more rounded perspective, not just treating the disorder itself but also supporting recovery, rehabilitation, and relapse prevention. Earlier in my career, I served as a resident at IHBAS (Institute of Human Behaviour and Allied Sciences), which is one of the leading centers in India for psychiatric care and research. That time exposed me to diverse patient populations, complex neuropsychiatric cases, and multidisciplinary teamwork. It was also a phase where I got to refine my approach towards holistic patient care, balancing clinical guidelines with the practical realities of individual lives. My focus as a psychiatrist has always been to bring clarity, reduce stigma, and make treatment approachable. Sometimes the hardest part for patients is just to seek help, and I want to make that process a little less intimidating. Psychiatry for me is not only about prescribing medicine, but also about building trust and finding small, realistic steps towards better mental health. I continue to stay connected with academic work, research discussions, and clinical learning, because psychiatry as a field is always evolving. And honestly, I still feel there’s so much more to learn every day when I meet new patients, hear their stories, and try to help in ways that are meaningful to them.
