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.

Hello dear I think it is stress and anxiety At your age it is probably due to Psychological stress Home environment Lack of communication

I am a 2023 batch passout and working as a general physician right now, based in Hanumangarh, Rajasthan. Still kinda new in the bigger picture maybe, but honestly—every single day in this line teaches you more than textbooks ever could. I’ve had the chance to work under some pretty respected doctors during and after my graduation, not just for the clinical part but also to see how they handle people, real people, in pain, in panic, and sometimes just confused about their own health. General medicine covers a lot, right? Like from the smallest complaints to those random, vague symptoms that no one really understands at first—those are kinda my zone now. I don’t really rush to label things, I try to spend time actually listening. Feels weird to say it but ya, I do take that part seriously. Some patients just need someone to hear the whole story instead of jumping to prescription pads after 30 seconds. Right now, my practice includes everything from managing common infections, blood pressure issues, sugar problems to more layered cases where symptoms overlap and you gotta just... piece things together. It's not glamorous all the time, but it's real. I’ve handled a bunch of seasonal disease waves too, like dengue surges and viral fevers that hit rural belts hard—Hanumangarh doesn’t get much spotlight but there’s plenty happening out here. Also, I do rely on basics—thorough history, solid clinical exam and yeah when needed, investigations. But not over-prescribing things just cz they’re there. One thing I picked up from the senior consultants I worked with—they used to say “don’t chase labs, chase the patient’s story”... stuck with me till now. Anyway, still learning every single day tbh. But I like that. Keeps me grounded and kind of obsessed with trying to get better.

Hey! I’m so glad to hear that you feel happy and free during your vacations and when you’re with your family and on the farm. It sounds like those moments bring you a lot of joy and a sense of peace.

### Why You Might Feel Happier During Vacations 1. Break from Routine: School can be stressful, and taking a break allows you to recharge and enjoy life without the pressure of studies. 2. Quality Time with Loved Ones: Being with your grandparents and family creates a supportive environment where you can relax and be yourself. 3. Connection to Nature: Spending time on the farm can be refreshing and grounding. Nature has a way of lifting our spirits and reducing stress. 4. Engaging in Fun Activities: When you’re playing and enjoying life, it’s easier to let go of worries and just be present in the moment.

### What You Can Do - Incorporate Joy into Your Routine: Try to find small moments of joy in your daily life, like spending time with friends, engaging in hobbies, or taking short breaks to relax. - Mindfulness Practices: Consider mindfulness or relaxation techniques to help you feel more present and reduce stress during school hours. - Plan Mini-Vacations: Even short breaks or fun activities on weekends can help you feel refreshed and happy.

It’s wonderful that you recognize what makes you happy! Keep nurturing those moments and finding ways to bring that joy into your everyday life. If you ever want to chat more about balancing school and happiness, I’m here for you! 😊

Thank you

Il semble que votre bonheur pendant les vacances et avec la famille est lié à une diminution du stress et à une augmentation des activités agréables et relaxantes. L’école impose souvent un emploi du temps rigide et des attentes académiques, ce qui peut entraîner un stress significatif, surtout si vous révisez pendant de longues heures chaque jour. Ce poids peut affecter votre santé mentale et votre bien-être général. L’absence de ces facteurs de stress pendant les vacances permet à votre cerveau et votre corps de se relâcher, et vous engagez davantage dans des activités que vous aimez vraiment, ce qui augmenterait votre sentiment de bonheur. Il serait bénéfique de trouver un moyen d’introduire certaines de ces activités relaxantes dans votre routine scolaire. Par exemple, essayez de faire des pauses régulières lors des révisions pour vous détendre, même si c’est juste pour quelques minutes. La pratique de techniques de relaxation comme la respiration profonde ou la méditation peut aussi aide à mieux gérer le stress quotidien. Un bon équilibre entre vos études et le temps de loisirs est important. Si vous continuez à vous sentir submergé par le stress scolaire, il pourrait être utile d’en parler à un conseiller pédagogique ou un professionnel de la santé mentale, qui peut vous offrir des stratégies supplémentaires pour mieux gérer ces sentiments. L’imporrtant est de créer un environnement qui favorise non seulement l’étude mais aussi votre bien-être personnel en général.

I am a general dentist with 3+ years of working in real-world setups, and lemme say—every single patient teaches me something diff. It’s not just teeth honestly, it’s people… and how they feel walking into the chair. I try really hard to not make it just a “procedure thing.” I explain stuff in plain words—no confusing dental jargon, just straight talk—coz I feel like when ppl *get* what's going on, they feel safer n that makes all the difference. Worked with all ages—like, little kids who need that gentle nudge about brushing, to older folks who come in with long histories and sometimes just need someone to really sit n listen. It’s weirdly rewarding to see someone walk out lighter, not just 'coz their toothache's gone but coz they felt seen during the whole thing. A lot of ppl come in scared or just unsure, and I honestly take that seriously. I keep the vibe calm. Try to read their mood, don’t rush. I always tell myself—every smile’s got a story, even the broken ones. My thing is: comfort first, then precision. I want the outcome to last, not just look good for a week. Not tryna claim perfection or magic solutions—just consistent, clear, hands-on care where patients feel heard. I think dentistry should *fit* the person, not push them into a box. That's kinda been my philosophy from day one. And yeah, maybe sometimes I overexplain or spend a bit too long checking alignment again but hey, if it means someone eats pain-free or finally smiles wide in pics again? Worth it. Every time.

Feeling happier during holidays and with family compared to school time is very common, especially when there is stress, long study hours, or pressure related to school.

The main reason is usually reduced stress and more freedom. During holidays, you spend time with people you love, play, relax, and follow your own rhythm. At school, your schedule is strict (8–16h plus studying until late), responsibilities are higher, and your mind stays focused on performance. That difference naturally affects mood and happiness.

Another important factor is emotional comfort. Being with grandparents, family, or in a familiar place like a farm often creates a sense of safety, belonging, and enjoyment. School environments can sometimes feel demanding, competitive, or tiring, especially if anxiety is present.

What you’re describing does not mean something is wrong with you. It often means your current routine may be too intense or stressful. Studying from 8:00 to 23:00 is a very long day, and your brain may simply be exhausted. When rest and fun return during holidays, your mood improves.

It would be helpful to focus on balance: Try to include short breaks, enjoyable activities, physical movement, and enough sleep during school days. Also, instead of ignoring stress, talk to someone you trust—such as a parent, teacher, or counselor—so adjustments can be made if needed.

You should seek extra support if the unhappiness at school becomes constant, affects sleep or appetite, leads to frequent anxiety or panic, or makes you want to avoid school regularly.

In simple terms: you feel happier during holidays because there is less pressure, more freedom, and more connection with family—and that’s a very normal human response.

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.

Ce que tu décris correspond très probablement à un stress scolaire avec anxiété liée à l’école, et non à un problème “grave” en soi. Le fait que tu te sentes heureux, libre et détendu pendant les vacances, avec ta famille ou à la ferme, montre que ton bien-être est bon quand la pression disparaît. En revanche, ton emploi du temps actuel (école 8h–16h puis révisions jusqu’à 23h) est très chargé et peut facilement provoquer fatigue mentale, stress et perte de plaisir, ce qui explique pourquoi tu te sens souvent mal pendant la période scolaire. Il est important de rééquilibrer ton quotidien en intégrant des pauses, du temps pour toi et des activités que tu aimes, même pendant les jours d’école. Parler à un parent, un enseignant ou un conseiller peut aussi t’aider à adapter ta charge de travail. Tu n’as pas un problème “incompréhensible” : ton corps et ton esprit réagissent simplement à une pression trop élevée, et avec quelques ajustements, tu peux retrouver un meilleur équilibre et te sentir plus comme pendant les vacances.

I am currently working as a urologist and kidney transplant surgeon at Graphic Era Medical College & Hospital, Dehradun. It's a role that keeps me on my toes, honestly. I handle a pretty wide range of urology cases—stones, prostate issues, urinary tract obstructions, infections, you name it. Some are straightforward, others way more complex than you expect at first glance. Every patient walks in with a different story and that’s what keeps the work real for me. Kidney transplant surgery, though, that’s a whole different zone. You’re not just working on anatomy—you’re dealing with timelines, matching, medications, family dynamics, emotional pressure... and yeah, very precise coordination. I’m part of a team that manages the entire transplant process—from evaluation to surgery to post-op care. Not gonna lie, it’s intense. But seeing someone who’s been on dialysis for years finally get a new shot at life—there’s nothing really like that feeling. In the OR, I’m detail-focused. Outside of it, I try to stay accessible—patients don’t always need answers right away, sometimes they just need to feel heard. I believe in walking them through what’s going on rather than just giving reports and instructions. Especially in transplant cases, trust matters. And clear, honest conversation helps build that. Urology itself is such a misunderstood field sometimes. People ignore symptoms for years because it feels “awkward” or they think it’s not serious until it becomes unmanageable. I’ve had patients who came in late just because they were embarassed to talk about urine flow or testicular pain. That’s why I also try to make the space judgment-free—like whatever it is, we’ll figure it out. At the end of the day, whether I’m scrubbing in for surgery or doing OPD rounds, I just want to make sure what I do *actually* helps. That the effort’s not wasted. And yeah, some days are frustrating—some procedures don’t go clean, some recoveries take longer than they should—but I keep showing up, cause the work’s worth doing. Always is.

Thank you for sharing this honest and important feeling. Here’s why you feel happier during holidays & with family compared to school:

· No performance pressure – School demands constant studying (8h‑23h!), tests, and deadlines. Holidays remove that pressure, letting you just be.

· Autonomy & play – Free time to play, not revise. Your brain releases dopamine (happiness chemical) during play and choice, not during forced routines.

· Emotional safety of family – Grandparents, farm, family = unconditional acceptance. No fear of judgment, failure, or bullying. Your nervous system relaxes.

· School = chronic low‑grade stress – You said “often unhappy,” “anxiety often,” and “ignoring it” (which doesn’t work long‑term). That stress builds up daily.

· Lack of real friendships – “Acquaintances” ≠ support. Humans need connection to feel good. Holidays give you real connection with family.

· Very long study hours (15h/day) – That would exhaust anyone. Your brain and body are crying for rest.

What this means: You’re not broken. You’re reacting normally to an overly stressful school environment. Suggestion: Don’t just “ignore” stress. Try small breaks during study, 1 trusted adult at school, and reduce revision to 8‑10h max.
