Dr. Akanksha Sharma

I love the approach she has for her patients.\nShe praises me for every small step I take towards recovery, doesn't dismiss or invalidate my feelings, doesn't preach, and doesn't 'tell me what to do' and instead suggests alternative ways in which I can help myself towards recovery, which is exactly what a professional in this field should do.\nShe understands that meds work for some people and they don't for others, which is why she makes sure that everytime she prescibes me a new med, if it's working or not and changes them accordingly. \nShe prioritises her patients over whatever their family has to say and I feel that that's something very rarely found in Indian medical Field. She has a progressive and liberal mindset which makes it easy for me to open up to her about literally anything.\nI remember visiting her 10 months ago, when my mental health was so bad, getting out of bed felt like chore. It was the inauguration day of her new hospital building, but not only did she willingly gave me her time but also empathized with me. For the first time in my life I felt so seen by a doctor, who doesn't dismiss my issues, doesn't order me to change myself, instead makes sure that I bring about lifestyle changes gradually. As someone who slept all through the day and suffered with executive dysfunction, today i am not only acing my academics but also thriving in my extra-curriculars at college.\nMental Health services are largely inaccessible in india because of a myriad of reasons, and the least talked among them is the lack of practitioners who genuinely understand the human psyche and not just from a scientific perspective but also from a humanitarian perspective and Dr. Akansha is that person, who understands both and is amazing at both the things!

To start with - let me tell you that I never ever imagined I'll ever fall into anxiety or depression which is in reality the extreme mental state one could possibly be in, or think of.

I must say that I was lucky enough to have visited Dr Akansha.I visited Dr Akansha regarding illness of my sister who was suffering from last 10 yrs .she was instrumental in helping me to understand the diagnosis and prognosis of the case .The way she has handled the case is phenomenal .Her approach and prescription is greatly appreciated which has helped in improving and regaining normal lifestyle. She is quite approachable and friendly. Belive u me u will not be disappointed . I am really thankful to Dr Akansha for all the support and help and would highly recommend her for such cases .

She is one of the most patient, and soft spoken doctor I have met.During my consultation with her, I felt I was genuinely being heard and it felt like she understood what is it that I am going through.She did not rush to prescribe medication, instead she listened my whole case (and by whole, I mean every aspect to it, and I had a lot to unpack) and then, keeping my needs in mind, prescribed the medication. Super fun and friendly to interact with. Felt really comfortable in sharing my case history with her. She also happens to have a good sense of humor which really helped me to break the ice and be open about my situation.By the end of the session, I really felt that I have someone to help me navigate through the matters of the mind and really made me feel that it's okay.
