The paucity of professional help in India, whether Psychiatrists, Psychotherapists, Counselors or Holistic healing experts is glaring.
Whereas India has a staggering 70 Million of its citizens suffering from various mental illnesses, there are just 7000 Psychiatrists to treat them! A majority of these happen to be stationed in Metro cities and larger towns.
We have been inundated with queries for local support from far corners of our vast nation. Wherever possible, we have tried to provide info about locally available Resources.
It is about time we unleash the power of the internet, which can be accessed on Mobile phones, to reach as many of those afflicted as possible Online.
We are proud to announce that several Professionals who are well qualified to address the concerns of our readers, are now onboard our site. A warm welcome to them!
Contact them via the tabs below each Profile so as to seek consultation via Skype, Phone or other suitable channel.
Let’s bring help closer, Let’s Walk Together towards wellness.
