Dr. Purnima Nagaraja

I have been struggling with anxiety and depression my whole life. But I started seeking professional help only about 3 years back. And for 2 years I saw various therapists, psychologists, physiatrists. Even though most of them were reputed and tried their best. I would get better for some time and then go back. And this would happen every now and then. Every time I would get better and then back to square one. So one of my therapists who was rrally at her wits end with me suggested Dr. Purnima. She has around 25 years of experience. And the methods she use work. Atleast for me what couldn't be done in 2.5 years of therapy, I am way better in 6 months.

I have visited Dr. Purnima for both marital and individual counselling. Her way of treating a patient is very unique and in psychological and relationship issues not feeling like a patient works wonders. She is very clear and methodical in her ways and starts out with a definitive plan of treatment with an end point. She helped me and my spouse with marital counselling and practically saved my marriage. As a therapist for my depression her availability is a blessing. I have never once been in a situation to have not been able to reach her which gives me a lot of faith and confidence in the treatment.

I have consulted the doctor when I have had extreme depression and anxiety and repetitive self checking and didn't even had proper sleeps. I was diagnosed with OCD and I came to know only then which I have later realised that I had the problem since many years.

Dr.Purnima is rather commercial and money minded than professional, Recently I had been to her Banjara hills clinic for a minor psychological problem (regret feeling). simply she advised some breathing exercises and asked me to come for a second sitting to give advise for the problem. for this simple consultation she charged Rs.1500/- which is very high. for this fees i neither got a useful advise nor any tips for my problem. depending upon the patient's financial status she is charging the fees without any useful advise to the patient. for simple breathing exercises charging Rs.1500/- is very high and i felt as if my pocket has been cut. for any doctor the consultation fee will be fixed and it will be valid for 10 days. here there is no such facility and the fees is to the doctor's whims and fancies.hope this practise will be dispensed with.
