I am an UPSC aspirant preparing from long time but unable to give my 100% because of certain issues which I was facing like- emotional outbursts, anxiety, poor concentration, lack of interest, lethargic life style, depressing thoughts, fearful feelings, excessive overthinking, sleep disorder, low confidence, loneliness etc. I have tried lot of things to improve my symptoms ranging from taking multivitamins, watching motivational videos, physical work outs etc. Inspite of all these activities, I was facing the above mentioned issues because of the repetitive failures in many competitive exams and poor family support in terms of mental wellbeing. In June 2023 I have decided to visit a psychiatrist and came to know about Dr. Shrikant Sharma. He is a kind, friendly and quite professional with dealing the mental health related issues. During our first meeting he assured me that you will started improving within a week and able to move ahead confidently to fulfill your aspirations. He told me to continue the treatment for 9-12 months even though you will started feeling almost normal after few weeks. Now I'm writing this review after 50 days of my first meeting with the doctor and I am taking the prescribed medicines regularly. Now I'm feeling almost normal and able to improve my habits and lifestyle. I get back my rhythm. In last 50 days I have realised that I was facing some level of mental stress and anxiety even from last 10-15 years. Although I should have visited long ago but what happened if I didn't visited even this year. So I have no regrets for being late rather I'm focusing more on the upcoming opportunities in my life. My focus have been improved, sitting hours have increased, consistency improved, even vision become clear, reading and writing speed improved and overall my productivity enhanced impressively.

In last 50 days I have visited 4 times at the Anandam Psychiatry where the staff, psychologist and the Doctor himself are supportive and friendly. One more thing is the understanding of the Doctor over the symptoms is deep and analytical. He understands well and then prescribe the medicines with appropriate doses. He suggests doses perfectly with the combinations of the required medicines. I have adjusted comfortably with the doses in just 2-3 days.

The hectic and competitive lifestyle is started affecting our mental health adversely. It's very important to take care of it. If you are facing certain mental health related issues then definitely visit a psychiatrist either in person or online. I would like to recommend Dr. Shrikant Sharma based on my experience.

I've been suffering from OCD for the last 6-7 years but used to think it was just my disciplined behavior. This got worse during the COVID outbreak post which it starting interfering with my day to day activities. Washing hands, having a bath everytime after coming back from somewhere, sanitising each and everything- these symptoms are just a tip of the iceberg. That is when I decided to take help and consulted Dr. Srikant. Our first interaction was quite friendly and he gave me ample time to understand my history and behaviour. He explained me the pros and cons of the medications and made me believe in myself that things can change. Medications were minimum at the beginning and the doses were gradually increased on the basis of my feedback. Believe me when I say this, I'm a changed person in a span of two months! Although the treatment and the therapy sessions are going to continue and it's your commitment to actually practicing all the exercises and suggestions given by the doctor, you would see a difference in 1-2 months which will give you a lot of confidence. I would recommend anyone suffering from any psychological ailments to visit Dr.Srikant atleast once and then decide for yourself.

He is very patient and understanding with his patients. It doesn't appear to be visiting a doctor at a private unit. His friendly approach and true concern regarding the wellness of his patients, makes things simple and easy going.

I visited him to understand and inquire about exam related stress. He not only took inputs from me, but my family members too to understand the issue holistically. He is a keen listener and explains things practically, which was very motivating to me. I did understand certain situations that I was going through a lot better. He is straightforward in giving remarks; and stresses upon the need of changing certain habits than being solely dependent on medicines, which I feel is a reflection of his experience and concern for his patients. After my first visit to him I didn't consider visiting another doctor.

I would like to suggest, if you are in any doubt whether you need medical help or not, just give him a visit, he would explain you the situation practically and honestly. Being a young Psychiatrist relatively, should not deter you from visiting him at his clinic; after the visit you would realize the same. Besides, having a cordial staff makes the whole experience smooth and easy.

I hope he keeps up the wonderful work he is doing! Best wishes.

Hi, I would like to share my experience with Dr. Shrikant Sharma.

Last year (2017), I sold my 26 year old business.

That day a cruel phase of my life started. I lost my confidence. I started avoiding people, sleeping 18 hours a day became a recluse having negative thoughts.

I was under deep deep depression.

One fine day, I decided- enough was enough, and a pshycatrist was the need of the hour.

I went to Dr.Sharma and broke down. I was literally crying like a baby and told him that it was the end of everything for me.

To cut a long story short, today it has been over 3 months of my treatment. I am slowly getting back on my two feet. I am starting a new business and feel pretty confident that Yess! I can once again face the world and no matter how difficult the times are, I can face them and fight once again to regain the lost ground.

I am reminded of my favourite lines by Mir Taki Mir

"dekh to dil ki jaan se utthtaa hai

ye dhuaan sa kahaan se utthtaa hai...

gor kis diljale ki hai ye falak

shola ik subh yaan se utthtaa hai..."

Thank you Doc for making me believe that I can disperse this dhuaan, these never ending dark grey clouds from my life...indebted...Salute!!!
