I was suffering from anxiety, depression, OCD, insomnia, low self-esteem, anger management issues for more than 5 years. I was feeling helpless, I was not able to understand what was going on with me. I was stressing out due to little things, I get angry at my family very easily, and my OCD was terrible, it was affecting my life, I was lashing out at my family every now and then and I used to cry for several hours due to OCD. There was one time that I decided to visit a psychiatrist and by practo I came across Dr. Kulkarni.
Now It's been 10 months that I am taking treatment for my OCD and all other issues. I am completely fine now. Even better than fine. Now I am very happy and content with life. My confidence level has increased. I handle every situation calmly. I feel as if I have been reborn. My friends and family say I radiate positive energy now. They can feel the positive change happening in me. I am now following my dreams which I was not able to do due to all mental issues.
I can't thank enough Dr. Kulkarni for her treatment. She is very understanding, patient with us. She listens to your issues and gives solutions for them. Dr. Kulkarni made me realize that life is so beautiful and we should live it fully and happily. I am so fortunate that I met her. I am so grateful to her.
All I can say now is that I donβt know if angels are exist or not but Dr. Kulkarni is the true angel on this earth. If you start taking her treatment I will give you a 100% guarantee that she will make you a completely better person which even you won't be able to recognize.
I want to give you one important piece of advice be open with her about all your issues, donβt hesitate with sharing anything. She will give you the best solutions for your problems.

βHi everyone. Iβm 57 years old male person. I came into contact with Dr. Ashwini Kulkarni ( Neuro Psychiatrist ) in the month of September. Earlier in the month of July, I started with some strange, unusual, restless & uneasy feelings. At that time following were the symptoms which Iβve noticed :
Low energy, Depression or Sadness, Lowered self confidence, difficulty in concentrating, Insomnia or difficulty in sleeping, decreased motivation, Scariness, Throbbing in the chest & variation in the BP.
For the proper diagnosis & the treatment, I went to the local Physician ( a friend of mine ) & on his advice to the Cardiologist as well. Also Iβve carried out the several tests they both have asked me to get done. The reports shows that all the test results were normal. But even then also since I was facing the same problem, I told my Respected Guruji regarding the same, when he as well as my Physician friend, both asked me to consult the Psychiatrist immediately. As per their suggestion & the recommendation of my Physician friend I immediately consulted the Neuro Psychiatrist Dr. Ashwini Kulkarni. After having the consultation & counselling for few minutes she immediately came to know what the problem is & started the treatment & she asked me to follow the treatment sincerely & with dedication, give me few months & Iβll make you mentally so strong & confident as you were earlier used to be so. And you donβt believe me, within very few days Iβve got the positive results & seen too much improvement in myself. Henceforth I continued her treatment till today very sincerely. As a result of which Iβm feeling much better with drastic improvement in the confidence & mental illness for which I must thank to my Respected Guruji, my Physician friend & of course Dr. Ashwini Kulkarni ( Neuro Psychiatrist ) as well for the same. And I am happy to mention that it was possible for me to get out of this state of depression so quickly only because Iβve consulted the Neuro Psychiatrist at the early stage of depression without any hesitation. People always think that why should I go to the Psychiatrist if Iβm not affected mentally. But my friends it may be a problem because of which you are feeling depressed, uneasy, restless quite oftenly.
So itβs my sincere & honest request & suggestion to all those suffering from the so called disease having symptoms which I have mentioned earlier, that donβt ignore & hesitate to consult the Neuro Psychiatrist & get the proper treatment to be started in time as I did.
Thanks a lot. ππ»β

I have never understood the hype and stigma or taboocreated around psychological illness.. i believe its as normal as a normal fever.. but yes needs much more care than i guess any illness would need because the mind is the root cause of many other illness too.. complicated than a cancer which atleast a chemotherapy can control.. but the mind is soo diverse and unpredictable that it needs care and proper treatment and counseling and medications incase of some chemical imbalances.. its like vitamins of mind.. if we don't shy away from flaunting a vitamin D3 or B12 supplement then why to avoid taking medicine and talking and expressing about the problems of mind.. expressing does half the work.. and no one other than a psychiatrist or a psychologist can guide you better.. they even help the family members to cope up and understand the issues going on with an individual.. From my personal experience I would say don't supress your thoughts, if you feel you aren't fine mentally go and see a Psychiatrist.. there is no stigma attached to it.. the more we talk the more the society would come to terms with it and accept it as normally as it accepts a cough and cold.. or else the psychosomatic effects would cripple you down.. believe ne psychological issues are as real as breathing and as complicated as a doctor's handwriting.. so help yourself.. chop off the 'what others will say' thought.. and visit the doc who can really help you overcome your problem..

I visited Dr Ashwini for my mother's treatment. My mother was facing anxiety and insomnia issues since 3-4 months due to which she had transformed into a very insecure and unhappy person which leaded to other problems. That's when I decided to consult a psychiatrist for my mother. On our first visit, Dr Ashwini heard all the problems that my mother faced with lot of patience and care. She assured by mother that she would be completely fine within a month. She suggested natural ways to help my mother calm down along with medicinal treatment with no side effects at all. My mother started recovering within a month and now that we have completed 2 months of treatment, she has recovered completely with no anxiety and insomnia issues at all. Overall I am extremely happy and thankful to her for treating my mother with such care and positivity.
I was not ready to visit a doctor in the first place but was persuaded by a friend to meet with the doctor.
My first impression was that she is way too young and I did not have much expectation. But much to my surprise, she identified my problem within minutes and she helped me understand the root cause of my problem.
She also worked with me continuously and was available whenever needed for support.
My confidence increased tremendously within few sessions.
I thank the doctor deep from my heart.

Hi, I visited Dr Ashwiniji right before Covid. Before she prescribed medicines she asked me to get blood tests done. I was suffering from severe anxiety, stress and uneasiness. Infact I have been overly stressed about everything. She understood the situation within the 1st meet. What I like is she is extremely patient and a very good listener. I started having medicines, and the activities suggested by her. Within a span of 1-1.5 months I started noticing a change in me. I became slightly calmer. Especially during covid where ther was so much uncertainty around me I was gaining self awareness. I started having video calls with her every month. A non judgemental doctor and very patient doctor. It's been almost a year since I am seeing her and continue to do so. She makes me see the good in me. Today I feel calm, composed and I feel I can handle situations and daily routine much better. I maintain a gratitude journal, diligently follow the activities suggested by her and continue the medicines. The medicines are in such minute doses that they do not affect the body (I have got blood tests to check the same). I truly recommend her. Have faith in her and consider her as your mirror image and I bet you witness miracle. This is such a personal review and I am glad I went to her for my stress and panic attacks.

Hello All, I was suffering from anxiety from June-2018. Initially, I thought that I have some major heart problem because of High BP. Even though after taking the medication of 7 to 8 months for BP it is not coming to normal. Cardiologist suggests some test and event that test are also negative. So, it was becoming difficult for me to understand the problem and as the day was passing the same time fear factor/negative feelings also started increasing.
Then my cardiologist suggests me to visit Dr. Ashwini Kulkarni once. I have visited her clinic. I must say a doctor is very friendly and understand the exact problem what we are suffering from. After taking the medication given by her, I started feeling better and better each day. And after one month, she asked me to stop taking BP tablets as well. She really helps me to overcome anxiety disorder. So, the only thing I want to share about her is that "Ashwini is GENIUS Dr.". Anybody seeking help on similar lines please does not hesitate to visit her. Thank you so much, Ma'am!!!!! :)
