I did my MD in Psychiatry from NIMHANS, which is widely respected for its work in mental health. During my time there, I worked with a wide variety of adult psychiatric conditions, including substance use issues and neurodevelopmental disorders. The hands-on experience gave me strong insight into how mental health is shaped by a mix of biological changes, life circumstances, and emotional patterns—how they all overlap and affect each other in real life. In my work, I focus more on the person than just the label of a diagnosis. I do use methods supported by research, yes, but I also think what really matters is showing up fully—really hearing someone out, staying with their story, and figuring things out together to see what actually works for them. Mental health care, to me, should go beyond just calming symptoms—it should also help someone regain balance and clarity in their day-to-day life. I keep learning, always trying to stay up-to-date with new findings and better ways of treatment. That way, anyone who comes to me can expect care that’s both thoughtful and informed by the latest in psychiatry. What drives me is a mix of clinical commitment and a deep belief in spreading awareness around mental well-being. Helping people strengthen their emotional resilience and live fuller lives is what keeps me going.

Hello Manoj Kumar. From whatever you told, it seems like you might have what we call “Dysthymia”. It is a prolonged depressed state characterized by having low mood, issues with concentration, feeling tired, with sometimes panic attacks which are what you might be referring to anxiety fits. Dysthymic person can have Depressive episodes as well if untreated. But, it is a very treatable condition with medications and therapy, continued for a considerable time. Do not try to self-medicate and please seek psychiatric consultation either online or in-person for further evaluation and treatment. Alternatively, you can try doing physical exercises for behavioral activation, which could improve mood. Let me know if you have any more doubts.
Regards,
Dr. Charan Kumar Pottem,
MD Psychiatry (NIMHANS).

I’m an MBBS graduate with a deep commitment to providing meaningful, patient-first care. My clinical training has given me a solid understanding of how to assess and manage a wide variety of health conditions—both common and complex. But beyond just clinical skills, I’ve always believed that the heart of medicine lies in listening. That’s what I try to bring into every consultation: not just treatment, but genuine attention to the person in front of me. I have gained experience across general medicine, paediatrics, emergency care and preventive health. I have treated patients of different age groups and backgrounds, which has helped shaped a more flexible, to diagnosis and management. Whether someone comes with a new symptom or a routine check-up, I aim to deliver evidence-based treatment, explained clearly and tailored to the lifestyle. I’m especially focused on making care accessible and comfortable. Too often, patients feel rushed or confused when they leave a doctor’s office—I try to do the opposite. Taking time to explain options, risks, or even just what’s going on in simple terms is something I take seriously. Communication, I think, is just as important as any prescription. I actively stay updated with current medical guidelines and research, and I’ve been exploring areas of holistic care and preventive medicine too. The more we can do to catch problems early—or better yet, avoid them—the better the outcome for everyone. I’ve seen how small lifestyle changes, when supported properly, can make a big difference to long-term health. There’s still a lot to learn, of course. I think every good doctor keeps learning. But every patient I see teaches me something new, and I carry those lessons forward—with honesty, empathy, and the intent to keep improving.

I am a General Practitioner who kind of lives on the frontline of everything, really. From sneezes to serious stuff, I handle a mix of it all—and weirdly, that’s what I love about being a GP. I get to see newborns coming in for their first jabs, and then later that day maybe I'm talking through meds with someone who's managing diabetes or heart disease for years. There’s a lot of variety, which keeps me on my toes—nothing ever feels too routine. Most days, I’m diving into a bit of everything—diagnosing infections, keeping an eye on chronic conditions like asthma or hypertension, helping folks plan their health goals, or sometimes just being a good listener when they need to vent. Preventive care’s a big deal for me. I like to catch things early, before they grow into something more serious. Sometimes all it takes is one small observation or something a patient casually mentions—and that changes everything. What I try to do is treat people, not charts. It's about who they are, what matters to them, and what really works in their life—not just what the textbook says. Every treatment plan I make is adjusted based on the real-world challenges each person’s facing. I also explain stuff in plain language. Like, no jargon for the sake of sounding clever. If someone doesn’t understand their condition, how can they take care of themself properly? Oh, and I do my best to keep learning constantly. Medicine doesn’t pause, right? Whether it’s a new guideline, research update or clinical tool—I keep checking, reading, taking notes (sometimes at midnight, honestly). All of this helps me feel confident that what I’m offering isn’t outdated or guesswork. What keeps me going is the trust people place in me. Being someone’s go-to doctor, knowing they’ll come to me when they’re worried or confused—that’s a big responsibility. But also kinda a gift. I don’t just see symptoms, I see stories—and I get to be part of their health journey from day one to who-knows-when. It's not perfect, and yeah, sometimes I feel I missed something or could’ve said something better. But I’m always trying, always caring, and I’m really here—for all of it.

Dr. Bharat Joshi

I’m a periodontist and academician with a strong clinical and teaching background. Over the last 4 years and 8 months, I’ve been actively involved in dental education, guiding students at multiple levels including dental hygienist, BDS, and MDS programs. Currently, I serve as a Reader at MMCDSR in Ambala, Haryana—a role that allows me to merge my academic passion with hands-on experience. Clinically, I’ve been practicing dentistry for the past 12 years. From routine procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced cases involving grafts, biopsies, and implant surgeries. Honestly, I still find joy in doing a simple RCT when it’s needed. It’s not just about the procedure but making sure the patient feels comfortable and safe. Academically, I have 26 research publications to my credit. I’m on the editorial boards of the Archives of Dental Research and Journal of Dental Research and Oral Health, and I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing manuscripts—from case reports to meta-analyses and even book reviews. I was honored to receive the “Best Editor” award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an “excellent reviewer,” which honestly came as a bit of a surprise! In 2025, I had the opportunity to present a guest lecture in Italy on traumatic oral lesions. Sharing my work and learning from peers globally has been incredibly fulfilling. Outside academics and clinics, I’ve also worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Drug Safety Associate for about 3 years, focusing on pharmacovigilance. That role really sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of drug interactions and adverse effects. My goal is to keep learning, and give every patient and student my absolute best.

Dr. Shayeque Reza

I completed my medical degree in 2023, but honestly, my journey in healthcare started way before that. Since 2018, I’ve been actively involved in clinical practice—getting hands-on exposure across multiple departments like ENT, pediatrics, dermatology, ophthalmology, medicine, and emergency care. One of the most intense and defining phases of my training was working at a District Government Hospital for a full year during the COVID pandemic. It was chaotic, unpredictable, and exhausting—but it also grounded me in real-world medicine like no textbook ever could. Over time, I’ve worked in both OPD and IPD setups, handling everything from mild viral fevers to more stubborn, long-term conditions. These day-to-day experiences really built my base and taught me how to stay calm when things get hectic—and how to adjust fast when plans don’t go as expected. What I’ve learned most is that care isn't only about writing the right medicine. It’s about being fully there, listening properly, and making sure the person feels seen—not just treated. Alongside clinical work, I’ve also been exposed to preventive health, health education, and community outreach. These areas really matter to me because I believe real impact begins outside the hospital, with awareness and early intervention. My approach is always centered around clarity, empathy, and clinical logic—I like to make sure every patient knows exactly what’s going on and why we’re doing what we’re doing. I’ve always felt a pull towards general medicine and internal care, and honestly, I’m still learning every single day—each patient brings a new lesson. Medicine never really sits still, it keeps shifting, and I try to shift with it. Not just in terms of what I know, but also in how I listen and respond. For me, it’s always been about giving real care. Genuine, respectful, and the kind that actually helps a person heal—inside and out.

Dr. Aakash Shah

I am someone who's sorta grown into emergency medicine through a mix of intense training, sharp turns, and long nights that just don’t let up. I did my MBBS from SN Medical College, which gave me the base, but things really picked up during my DNB in Emergency Medicine at RTIICS, Kolkata—those years? hectic. You don't forget the pressure of working through back-to-back codes or handling trauma cases that change within seconds. Later, at AIIMS Delhi, during my senior residency, I got to see how clinical decision-making works in high-stakes, real-time setups. I had to push myself—mentally, technically, even emotionally. AIIMS was hard, but it kinda redefined how I approach chaos... you know, how to be calm when nothing else is. Right now, I’m working as a Consultant & Asst. Professor at Kiran Hospital and Medical College. Which is weirdly satisfying, coz I get to flip between clinical practice and teaching. Like one hour I’m in resus managing a poisoned patient, next I’m guiding a batch of med students through triage protocols. It’s demanding, but it keeps me sharp. I try not to get stuck in patterns—I mean emergency medicine is always shifting. I stay updated with new guidelines, courses, journals—some of it sticks, some doesn’t haha. But that’s how you keep growing. My thing is blending strong protocols with some human stuff—listening better, watching closer, explaining things in a way people can actually get. And yeah, mentoring’s important to me. Watching younger docs or interns go from nervous to confident... feels good. I’m all for building that bridge between practice and teaching, science and instinct. Maybe I don’t always get it right—but I care, a lot. That counts right?

I’m truly sorry to hear about your struggles. Facing depression, anxiety, emotional pain from one-sided love, and even fits for so many years can be overwhelming—and it’s understandable that these challenges have affected your ability to study and focus on life.
You’ve shown strength by expressing what you’re going through, and that is the first important step toward healing.
Here are some steps that may help:
1. Professional Mental Health Support (Very Important)
Consult a psychiatrist: You may need a proper evaluation for depression, anxiety disorder, and possible epilepsy or related neurological issues (since you mentioned fits). Medication might be necessary to stabilize your mental state.
Psychotherapy (Counseling): A trained therapist can help you process emotional pain (like one-sided love), past trauma, and develop coping skills.
If you cannot access a therapist in person, many online mental health platforms in India offer affordable therapy (e.g., MindPeers, Manastha, YourDOST, iWill Therapy).
2. Medical Evaluation
Chronic headaches, brain “weakness”, and fits could also indicate neurological issues, such as epilepsy, migraines, or somatoform disorder. Please see a neurologist if you haven’t yet.
A brain scan (MRI/EEG) may help rule out any physical cause for the symptoms.
3. Lifestyle & Support
Daily routine: Fix a small, gentle routine. Wake up, short walk, healthy food, and at least 20 minutes of something creative (music, journaling, painting).
Limit isolation: Speak to someone regularly—family, a friend, or a support group. Even chatting online in anonymous support forums helps.
Practice mindfulness: Try simple breathing exercises, meditation (e.g., through apps like Headspace or the free “Healthy Minds Program”).
4. One-Sided Love Pain
Emotional pain from unreciprocated love can deeply impact mental health. Therapy can help with:
Letting go of emotional attachments
Healing old wounds
Building self-worth and boundaries
You deserve love that is mutual and respectful. Letting go is difficult, but possible with support.
5. Regarding Studies
Don’t pressure yourself to catch up quickly. Start with just 10–15 minutes a day of light study or reading.
Consider open universities or flexible online courses so that your mental health recovery can go side-by-side with learning.
Please remember:
You are not alone. Many people suffer silently for years without realizing help exists and recovery is truly possible with the right support.

I'm Dr. Alan Reji, a general dentist with a deep-rooted passion for helping people achieve lasting oral health while making dental visits feel less intimidating. I graduated from Pushpagiri College of Dental Sciences (batch of 2018), and ever since, I've been committed to offering high-quality care that balances both advanced clinical knowledge and genuine compassion for my patients. Starting Dent To Smile here in Palakkad wasn’t just about opening a clinic—it was really about creating a space where people feel relaxed the moment they walk in. Dental care can feel cold or overly clinical, and I’ve always wanted to change that. So I focused on making it warm, easygoing, and centered completely around you. I mix new-age tech with some good old-fashioned values—really listening, explaining stuff without jargon, and making sure you feel involved, not just treated. From regular cleanings to fillings or even cosmetic work, I try my best to keep things smooth and stress-free. No hidden steps. No last-minute surprises. I have a strong interest in patient education and preventive dentistry. I genuinely believe most dental issues can be caught early—or even avoided—when patients are given the right information at the right time. That’s why I take time to talk, not just treat. Helping people understand why something’s happening is as important to me as treating what’s happening. At my practice, I’ve made it a point to stay current with the latest innovations—digital diagnostics, minimally invasive techniques, and smart scheduling that respects people’s time. I also try to make my services accessible and affordable, because good dental care shouldn’t be out of reach for anyone.

I’m really sorry you’re going through this — your struggles are very real and deserve proper care. Dropping years due to mental health is nothing to be ashamed of; it’s a sign that you need healing first, not pressure. Please consult a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist urgently — with the right treatment (therapy, medications if needed), you can recover and restart life stronger.

Dr. Aarav Deshmukh

I am a general physician with 8 years of practice, mostly in urban clinics and semi-rural setups. I began working right after MBBS in a govt hospital in Kerala, and wow — first few months were chaotic, not gonna lie. Since then, I’ve seen 1000s of patients with all kinds of cases — fevers, uncontrolled diabetes, asthma, infections, you name it. I usually work with working-class patients, and that changed how I treat — people don’t always have time or money for fancy tests, so I focus on smart clinical diagnosis and practical treatment. Over time, I’ve developed an interest in preventive care — like helping young adults with early metabolic issues. I also counsel a lot on diet, sleep, and stress — more than half the problems start there anyway. I did a certification in evidence-based practice last year, and I keep learning stuff online. I’m not perfect (nobody is), but I care. I show up, I listen, I adjust when I’m wrong. Every patient needs something slightly different. That’s what keeps this work alive for me.

Dealing with longstanding depression and anxiety can significantly impact daily life, studies, and overall well-being. It’s crucial to address these issues by seeking comprehensive management. The symptoms you describe, including headaches and feeling of weakness, could potentially be related to your mental health conditions, but physical factors such as migraines or other neurological issues should not be ruled out. To start, consulting a physician or mental health professional would provide clarity and a detailed assessment. They might recommend a combination of therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and medication. Antidepressants or anxiolytics may be prescribed if deemed appropriate after evaluating your specific symptoms and history.
If headaches are severe or persistent, imaging studies like an MRI may be warranted to exclude any neurological conditions. Regarding feeling weakened by one-sided love over a decade, this might also contribute to emotional stress, and discussing these feelings with a therapist could be benefical. Incorporating lifestyle changes can significantly help manage symptoms. Regular physical activity, even something like a short daily walk, can improve mood and decrease anxiety. Ensuring a balanced diet and healthy sleep schedule also supports mental health.
Mindfulness practices, including meditation, can provide additional coping mechanisms for stress and anxiety. It’s crucial to break the cycle of withdrawal often caused by depression by engaging in study or group activities as slowly reintroducing routine can be beneficial. Don’t delay in reaching out for help; untreated, these issues might worsen. Seeking help from professionals will offer the most effective strategies to manage and eventually overcome these challenges, allowing you to engage more fully with your studies and life.
