Mind Above Mood

I have been visiting Mr. Chitrarasu for CBT for a mood disorder of mine. The main thing that strikes with him is his incredible friendliness. I know that most people who wants professional help might shy away from seeking help is because they might fear some judgement. If this is the case with you then Mr. Chitrarasu is your best help as he makes you feel comfortable right from the get go. I have tried some other psychologists too but for me I did not feel as comfortable as I did with him. And also the fact that he charges less for each session makes him more accessible. Apart from all these he also helps me with my problems off the sessions through phone and WhatsApp which shows his genuine concern and dedication for his clients. Had a great experience and can't think of anyone better than him atleast for me.

I was diagnosed with Fatty liver stage 2 in the month of Jan 19 and somehow that prognosis made me anxiety prone and was always fearing that somehow my liver will fail. In the month of Feb, my anxiety has become so bad that I almost went 2 whole days without any sleep. Slowly I started doubting myself that and when I tried to sleep my mind will start racing and I was unable to sleep.

I started believing that I was struggling with Insomnia and I went one step further thinking that I had FFI (Fatal Familial Insomnia). For close to 1 month I would have slept just about 4 hours a day. I tried Melatonin without any effect and then when I was browsing, came across Mr.Chitrarasu.G. Initially my aim was to see the doctor in the hope that he will prescribe some sleeping drugs and that will help me to sleep.

On the day I met him, he somehow put my mind at ease, mentioning he see many people like me and all I had was just anxiety and nothing more and we will somehow work on my issues and will sort it out. He listened to my issues patiently and he gave me the confidence that I can handle the current problem without resorting to sleeping pills and he also mentioned that it will require a lot of effort from my side and having patience was extremely important.

Fast forward 9 months, I sleep normally now and I wont say my anxiety is fully gone, but I am able to manage it better. Before meeting Chitrarasu I know my issues exactly and I know how to deal with it as well but we need someone on our side who understand our issues and are willing to listen to our bickering so that we can come out of that dark phase better. In that sense Mr.Chitrarasu was a god send for me. I recommend the doctor to anybody who struggle with anxiety and please stick to the routine and we can beat it.

Visited for stress and sleep issues. Patiently listened and shows genuine care in understanding the problem. After few sessions I am feeling far better and confident in handling my issues. I would definitely recommend him.
