Dr. Rishikesh V Behere is a clinician and researcher in Psychiatry. As a clinician, he has been closely working on mental health issues related to stress and its effect on the human mind and providing professional scientific evidence based treatments. As a researcher, he firmly believes in 'Translational Research' where the benefits of the results of research should translate into better care. He did his MD training in Psychiatry from the prestigious National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), Bangalore, India and is a former associate professor in a Department of Psychiatry, Kasturba Medical College, Manipal University, Manipal. He is currently a consultant psychiatrist and independent researcher at Pune. He has been working in the field of psychiatry since 2005. mental health is essentially defined by 3 components – the way you think (thoughts), the way you feel (emotions) and the way you behave (behavior) and these need to be in perfect sync with your physical health for you to perform effectively and efficiently as an individual. A disturbance in any one of them can disturb the sync and seriously undermine your efficiency as an individual. If you want to be healthy it is equally important to care for your mental health as well, His consultation involves a professional, individualized and scientific approach to understanding the unique factors causing stress in each person. A comprehensive treatment program is discussed with the clients. While medication helps in quick control of symptoms placing the client on the path to recovery, psychotherapy involving cognitive-behavioral principles and understanding the mind-body relationship helps in correcting the incorrect thought process and equips the client to handle stress better, hence enhancing the chances of preventing future recurrences of stress-related disorders.

The Doctor knows his domain extremely well, along with empathy by which he makes the patient comfortable which allows patient to open up on him and has loads of patience to hear patients part of the story. Never found him in a hurry to cut short the sessions due to over-run time and ensured that once as a patient, you say that OK doctor then only he will close the session. Has been very deliberate on prescribing medication and is sensitive about it. One can rely on him for his professionalism and his Team to take you out of any issues pertaining to his domain expertise.
Visited For Sleep Disorder Treatment
Excellent talk therapist and psychiatrist. Very happy with their method and prescription!
I went for sleep onset issues. As a first timer, I was onboarded by a good psychologist, and then she took my case history for 30 minutes, explained it to the psychiatrist, and then we did a short sesh in which the doc gave his prescription. Day 1 of using my sleep medication and I am confident that the dose and tablet is appropriate. Thank you.
We are happy that all our problems were addressed in a systematic manner n a glimmer of hope put us at ease. The patient also was quite at ease discussing her problems with the doctor which was a great relief to us as parents, over all for us as parents it was a blessing in disguise that we got refered to Dr Rishikesh by the doctors at NIMHANS . We thank the dr sincerely for the effort he put in to treat my daughter.

I visited Dr. Behere for some stress and anxiety related issues. He is a patient and attentive listener and he very competently guided me into arriving at solutions independently and setting new life goals for myself. Considering that I was sharing a lot of personal information, he came across as both non-judgemental and empathetic and it felt comfortable discussing issues with him. He was both approachable and available when I was under distress. The clinic is also located well and it provides the privacy and calm required for therapy. He is one of the most qualified and experienced psychiatrist in this part of town and I recommend him highly.

He gives u proper consultation time and he him self council you and take your words into consideration while treating u along with your parents words. He is not like other doctors who only listen to parent and provide u treatment . he provide you with other therapy like meditation, mindfulness, studying technique , stress management, situation management, sleep disorders, weightloss management many more....... . Compare to other doctors he is excellent and fee charge is also reasonable and it is worth for treatment . U also get appointment very easily and there is online appointment is also available.
Was slightly impatient. IMO the discussion was only on surface level. I ended up bringing more queries rather being asked. Overall experience was not so convincing. Last but may be the least , I would ideally expect separate entry & exit for the visitors.
Visited For Anxiety And Depression
I visited Dr Behere for my grandmother facing depression. Doctor is very good and have patience to listen. He heard full history from her, gave her full time to express herself which is one of the expectation of patient from any doctor. I am just waiting that the medicines should do positive impact on her health. Thanks to Dr. Behere.
