About me

As a Psychiatrist with an MD in Psychiatry from the esteemed Osmania Medical College in Hyderabad, I am deeply committed to destigmatizing mental illness. The stigma surrounding mental health issues often prevents individuals from seeking the help they need, exacerbating their conditions and affecting their overall quality of life. My goal is to challenge these misconceptions and promote a more compassionate and understanding approach to mental health. I firmly believe that the right blend of pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy is essential for effective treatment. Pharmacotherapy, with its advancements and scientific backing, offers critical support in managing the biochemical aspects of mental illnesses. Medications can help stabilize moods, alleviate symptoms, and improve overall functioning, providing a foundation for further therapeutic work. However, medication alone is often not enough. Psychotherapy plays a crucial role in addressing the underlying emotional and psychological issues that contribute to mental health conditions. Through therapeutic techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches, we can help patients develop coping strategies, improve their self-awareness, and foster healthier thought patterns and behaviors. My approach is holistic, considering the unique needs and circumstances of each patient. By integrating pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy, we can create personalized treatment plans that address both the symptoms and the root causes of mental illness. This comprehensive approach not only aids in symptom management but also promotes long-term recovery and personal growth.
