I had been suffering with postpartum depression and it was extreme that I could leave my child with my parents to bring him up. I used to behave weirdly shouting at others and crying most of the time in a day and unable to take care of my own daily activities and the child. I could not sleep at night . people around asked me to sleep when the kid slept but I could not sleep any time and continued to wake up both day and night which created more issues with my mind.Doctors consultation helped me to improve mental health directed with the right medicines. Dr. Sumitra is excellent in counseling and made me comfortable. She relieved my anxiousness with her positive words. she takes time for counseling without any rush. Still consultation is in progress hope I will recover fully soon

I have never ever written a review before for any doctor to be very honest, not that I haven't met any one interesting and efficient but I really didn't feel the need to. But in this case,
I had been under wrong notion that only people with serious mental conditions would consultant psychiatrist but that is not the scenario. If there is anyone out there under the same illusion, request you to visit her, your thoughts will be completely changed. There are subtle things that we are not aware of & suffer due to lack of ignorance.
Her ever Contagious smile while greeting patients, warm personality, gentle and understanding approach helps us in building a trust and sharing our innermost thoughts , concerns that are bothering us. The medicines prescribed
start showing their effects in a really short span and we can see a good improvement in our status.
I would also strongly recommend for couples who are looking for good counselling sessions as she is completely unbiased, rational and listens to both sides without any preference or favourism, addressing the key concerns n helping couples bridge the gaps. Please consult her without any second thoughts and you will never regret it.

LONG POST I am suffering with anxiety disorder for a long time. I had various other problems also like stomach issues, lack of appetite which was also because of anxiety that I wasn’t aware of. In the recent times, my anxiety started overpowering me and it was going completely out of my control. My mind was always filled with negative thoughts, worst-case scenarios, worry about my future, death etc all of which led to lack of sleep, fatigue, digestion problems, acne and what not. My anxiety made the situation even worser when I had a panic attack and especially when I was about to get my first vaccine shot. The night before taking the vaccine, I couldn’t sleep properly, a lot of negative thoughts were running in my mind and I had constant heart palpitations till the moment I got vaccinated. Eventually I decided to consult Sumithra ma’am. I found her through google. When I first met her, she patiently listened to all my problems and established a very good rapport with me. She explained clearly about the problem I had and prescribed me medicines accordingly along with a therapy. After few days of taking medicines, I felt a lot different and there was a huge difference in the mind clarity. My negative thoughts and fears started to reduce slowly and my health has also improved a lot now after undergoing therapy and medications for a month now. In fact I was able to take my second vaccination shot, without any sort of anxiety or panic. This made me so happy and feels like a new whole world to me. I am so so grateful for her. Thank you ma’

I underwent treatment for anxiety and depression to Dr.Sumitra Devi. Dr. was very friendly and blissful which is much needed for a Psychiatrist. She welcomes the patient with warm smile, that makes the patient very comfortable to tell her their personal issues. She listens to patient problems without interrupting even if it takes long hours. She recommends proper medication for your problems to recover as soon as possible. With proper followup and medication i have recovered a lot. I am very much happy with her diagnosis and treatment.

Dr. Sumithra devi was referred by Dr. Balamurugan.
When i entered into the consultation room, she was greeting with a smile and spoke to me as if she know me already for a long time which made me speak to her freely. In 2 weeks i was able to identify the difference in myself which i already lost since years. After the first consultation i i called her personally to enquire about the tablet, where she recognized me quickly and responded promptly.
Day by day, i feel the difference in myself and trust to recover sooner. No matter what is the current situation in life, i feel i can be better than ever before my depression and deal any situation with positive attitude.
I was able to personally get in touch with her for the appointment. When i ask for appointment, She was enquiring about my location where i live to give appointment in the nearby location that she visit, which she made me comfortable even before meeting her.
I personally recommend to consult her. More than a doctor, she is a nice person
