Kaizen Mind Care

Dr Poongodi Bala is a fine Doctor and a wonderful human being. We saw her for our daughter’s anxiety and depression problems. Our teenaged daughter was a bright and an energetic child with a positive outlook towards life. However, the strict isolation during Covid coupled with our upbringing mistakes transformed her into a gloomy kid. We thought these changes were just a part of growing up but unchecked the sadness kept on growing inside her. The tipping point came when she started harming herself. And only that time we realize that something was wrong. Scared to the core we started looking for help. By god’s grace we came across Dr Poongodi Bala.

Dr Bala instantly put her on medication and started counselling. She tried hard to connect with her and develop a bond with our child. The progress was slow but consistent. The treatment continued for few months during which the medicine dosages kept on changing depending on the doctor’s assessment. Meanwhile Dr Bala advised us to give our daughter little space and not to push her for anything. Slowly her medicine dosages were tapered and it was stopped altogether after few months.

During this period our daughter appeared for her 10th board exam also. A few weeks back she got her results. It was a mixed bag but she got overall ninety plus percentage, which was a respectable figure, especially for someone who had such turmoil during her most of the preparation period. Now she has started a new chapter of her life. In addition to her regular studies she has joined self defence classes and has started participating in various cultural events organized by her school and other organizations. She is back to her old self. And we have none other than Dr Poongodi Bala to thank for her transformation. Thank you Doctor.

My son struggled to complete his school work. We changed school a few times. It didn't help him and he refused to go to school last year. Medication given by other doctors didn't help him. Dr. Poongodi Bala completed a thorough assessment and diagnosed learning difficulty. Based on her guidelines he is having special educator classes now. I can see the improvement in his study. Moreover, I am not getting stressed now as I am able to understand my son's difficulty after meeting Dr. Poongodi and giving right support to my son. It relieved our stress. Thank you, doctor.

I am aged 36. Juvenline diabetic for past 20 years and on insulin for 3 times a day. Also recently diagonsed with more medical issues and complications. Because of having so much medications through out the day and due to my stress levels i I felt very low, depressed and my confidence, self esteem was completely down.

Then me and my wife decided to get an expert opinion and seek medical guidance on how to deal with this tough situation. We found out Dr.Poongodi Bala and visited her regularly for counselling and medications. She guided us extremely well and i continued medications for 6 months.

Now i feel relaxed and much more confident. I would definitely recommend anyone who has psychological issues, low state of mind, mental depression and anxiety, to visit her to get better physically and also to feel better.

Thank you so much Doc for all the support. We are eternally grateful to her.

We approached Dr. Poongodi Bala with a huge list of issues that our kid had been experiencing for quite some time. She quickly realised the core underlying issue and explained the same in detail to us. We were initially sceptical about the medication aspect but she guided and allayed our anxiety in this regard as well. Many difficult situations arose at home while taking care of our kid, but we never felt helpless as we were always able to reach out to her for expert guidance and every single time she reached back with her timely advice. Through her counselling sessions, we as a family got an insight into our kid's issues and their solution. We look up to her more as a mentor, who with her guidance and knowledge sharing, has empowered us to confidently handle most of our issues by ourselves- now we know what to do in a particular scenario. She is absolutely non-judgmental and one feels very comfortable to open up to her. Further, I highly appreciate her punctuality, professional friendliness, extreme patience and dedication. Her experience is clearly visible in her confident handling of patients. Our kid continues to make progress under her guidance.

When I consulted Dr Poongodi Bala for my Kids hair pulling problem, I did not know what the issue was all about. The diagnosis made by her was simple and showed favourable results for my kids problem. Dr Poongodi Bala's approach and advice was acceptable and the solution to the problem was very easily adaptible.

We have two kids 9 year and 13 year old. They always fight among themselves. We approached Dr Poongodi Bala for parenting guidance. She told us to follow certain parenting techniques. Though it is appeared as simple , we noted significant improvement of my kids behaviour after a week of using those techniques. It is a big relief for us. Thank you Doctor. God bless you.

I took my mother who is 65 year old to Kaizen mind care, Ashoknagar as my mother was talking to herself and afraid of eating food. Dr Poongodi Bala listened to me and my mother for nearly an hour. Then she explained that my mother was suffering from some kind of mind illness and further treatment plan. She is very kind. Now my mother is doing well with regular followup. I recommend this doctor definitely.

Would highly recommend the doctor. She was very patient enough to listen to the problems and was very flexible in treating the patients.

Her probing way was very comforting and she diagnoses the problem with precision. She is non-judgemental and we could very easily connect with her on all levels. Satisfied with the treatment revived *** *** ** ******** *** *** **** ******* ** *** *****

I consulted a lot of psychiatrists for more than 12 years.Some tried honestly to cure me but they could not. Some are highly popular but they prescribed me heavy doses of medicines which in turn induced suicidal thoughts. And the most important part is they were reluctant to pay heed to my complaintAnd finally I met poongodi mam, she treated me honestly and ethically with minimum dose of medicine.She was the first doctor to identify all the problems(depression, anxiety, OCD and attention deficit) i had. And most importantly she pushed herself beyond the conventional limits of the psychiatrists and treated me with extreme care. To be honest, She is the only reason for me staying alive and continuing my job. Thanks a ton

A very professional doctor with a poised and cheerful attitude that connects easily with patients. My daughter was diagnosed with depression and anxiety and is under treatment. Dr.Poongodi listens attentively and most importantly she is non-judgmental. She explains the treatment plan gently and always tries to consolidate whatever progress has been achieved. Visiting her is not a chore or does not create any anxiety of visiting a psychiatrist - both for the patient as well as the care giver.

I wish more people would get over the stigma of mental illness and get psychiatric care when they need and this doctor is someone you can rely on.
