I have a huge history of mental illness and have been to numerous psychiatrists. I have been ill after 2 major setbacks in life one of which was my Father's sudden demise in 2011 and an exam failure in 1996 which effectively made me a mediocre in life since I had a new friend in the form of mental illness to live with.
I am still very suicidal and believe that death solves many problems.
I went with this state of mind to Dr Swaroop and Agneesha madam.
The positive point was I was never judged or called a m*d person. I have been given a challenging task of getting of benzodiazepines which has been a 14 year addiction for me. And I somehow am slowly feeling confident I would overcome.
Dr Swaroop knows about mental illness quite well and is even reachable on WhatsApp during emergency panic attacks. She has given an amazing medicine regime
I may reduce even my SSRI which I clearly feel is not effective anymore having tried nearly every SSRI in the book.
The main challenge of course would be reinventing myself and increasing the will to live.
Thank you Dr. Swaroop.

It was life turning point !!!.yes friends I m not exaggerating!!!! I had consulted for depression. I was so much hopeless and depressed from life after repeated failures and terrible breakup. first of all I didn't realize that I m suffering from depression. I thought my attitude has became like that only.i tried yoga, vipassana, everything but no improvement and I thought it's over now. Due to the stigma attached to psychological problems in our society I was hesitant to consult PSYCHIATRIST.but after suffering a lot I thought let's try this also.so visited Dr.Swaroop. I was confused about how and what should tell her...BCS it's difficult ...but she helped me and I started taking medicines.within month my attitude started changing.I was myself surprised .....it works!!! I was enthusiastic now.....I had no guilt of past....I started focusing more on my study....now I don't feel lonely....now I feel like doing something constructive in life...and I know that I will....it's all BCS of Dr. Swaroop....even when I told her about my financial problems.....she helped me there also....I don't know will I be able to express my gratitude to Dr.swaroop.... I think I won't be able to....but still Thank you so much Doctor from bottom of my hearts....
Finally friends I don't say u should visit only to Dr.swaroop ****** ** **** ** ***** ****but I will say only one thing that "DON'T IGNORE OR NEGLECT DEPRESSION or any psychological problems"....do consult any psychologist or psychiatrist whom u trust...they give medicines only when it is required or else they don't give it at all...life is beautiful...now I feel like that...it's only BCS of doctor swaroop....once again thank you Dr.swaroop ...

We visited doctor regarding schizophrenia. Our family member was not keeping well and was difficult to control but the doctor prescribed right medicines which calmed down the patient. She even reduced the dosage gradually. I strongly recommend visiting Dr. Swaroop.

*** ********* ** **** ****** ***** ** ** * ******* *** **** ** ******* ** **** *** ********** ******** ** * *********** ****** **** *** ***** ** ********* *** *** ******** ******** ** ********* *** ********** She refused to treat me because I was delaying going to the psychologist. Why? Because I was still severely depressed and was in no condition to. She simply said I am not going to treat you, which means there's no prescription of medicine, withdrawals* *** * ******** ******** if she doesn't.
When I asked, would you do that to a patient who was disabled and needed the medicines, she said, yes, if I see fit.
