akhi,

Mumbai is one of the most populated cities in the world. The business capital of India is home to 12,655,220 people. Hopefully someone here in the forum may have  suggestion or link to help you find a psychiatrist in your great city.

Have you talked with your primary care physician re helping you find a psychiatrist that will fit your needs?

Thinking of you,

Kitt

Thanks Skitt.

Actually I have been having anxiety issues since 3 yrs now . Started of with regular health anxiety and numerous physicals after which I was referred to psychiatrist . I tried 4 of them in the last 3yrs but they have not helped that much . So I was hoping that someone might recommend a good psychiatrist with which he/she has a good experience. But seems like mental issues are a bit tabooed here so not a lot of people discuss it in open forums even if they suffer from them.

Akhi,

I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble finding the help that you need! :(

Did you know that there are therapists who Skype, so geological proximity is becoming less of an issue?

If this is something that you can and would consider, I will post some links to finding a good psychiatrist who uses this method.

Let me know...

Here you go.:)

Generaly info on Skype therapy:

Here are a couple of examples of therapists who offer Skype services:

I know nothing about the above providers, you will have to do your own research and find out more about them if you are considering using them....or you can continue to search for others who offer on-line therapy through Google search.:)

Best wishes,

S.C.

Thanks for the links. As far as researching on google goes nobody can beat us hypochondriacs :).

akhi,

Great idea by SC.  I don't Skype so I learned something new thanks to your question today.

From what I understand, not only your country but many still consider mental health issues as taboo therefore causing a  huge treatment gap with 50 to 90 per cent of people not being able to access services needed to treat mental health disorders.

It makes me feel sad that people with anxiety, depression, PTSD ETC. are not able to obtain the help they so desperately need.

Do stick with us and remember sharing with us is one way to help yourself heal.

Kindly,

Kitt
