Request for a Pro-Bono Diagnostic Consultation / Severe Dissociative Symptoms

Dear Dr. Psychiatrist Sheetal Meshram,

I hope this email finds you well.

I am writing to you because you are widely recognized as one of India's leading experts in psychiatry and complex trauma. I deeply respect your work, and it is because of your vast experience that I am reaching out to you regarding a deeply distressing mental health situation.

For some time now, I have been experiencing severe, life-altering symptoms. These include extensive memory gaps, losing large chunks of time, and feeling profoundly disconnected from my identity. Based on my research, I am deeply concerned that I may be dealing with a complex dissociative condition or Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).

I am currently living in Thane, and I am facing severe financial constraints that make it completely impossible for me to afford private psychiatric consultation fees. However, because these symptoms are deeply confusing and isolating, I am desperately seeking a definitive, accurate answer from a trusted expert so I know what I am fighting against.

I know how valuable your time is and how demanding your practice must be. I wanted to humbly ask if your clinic takes on pro-bono cases, or if you could spare just a brief session to evaluate my history and give me an initial clinical opinion on whether my symptoms align with dissociation.

If this is not possible, I completely understand and respect your boundaries. In that case, I would be incredibly grateful if you or your team could recommend a trusted female colleague, a specific department at a government institution, or a trauma-informed psychologist who might be able to help someone in my financial situation.

Thank you so much for your time, your empathy, and your dedication to mental healthcare in India.

Warm regards,

Shantanu Rathod
