  My friend was always good at his studies. He never came second in school. We have always been best friends. When in college, he started dating a girl. Things were going well, and after college, my friend got a lucrative job as well.  When my friend proposed to that girl for marriage, she rejected him. My friend tried a lot to convince her, but he failed. Then he became an alcoholic to cope with the situation. I told him many times but could not help him to come out of alcoholism. His parents were so tensed and sad that they called me for help. My friend was so much into alcohol that he would break things if he did not get a bottle a day. He became so vulnerable that I had to take a step. Finally, I convinced my friend and made an appointment with the  bestpsychiatric doctor near me . The doctor heard us patiently. I told the psychiatrist everything about his downfall and how he became such an alcoholic. After that, the doctor started my friend’s treatment. Sessions of c...

My son is in 3rd standard in a reputed school in Kolkata. His best friend stays nearby. During this lockdown, my wife started teaching both my son and his best friend so that they neither get bored nor do they give up on their competitive attitude.  This online way of teaching and learning is yet to be accepted by many children as they miss their school and the fun they used to have, along with studies and extra-curricular activities. A few months ago, my son said that his friend was behaving strangely. I did not pay attention to it, but after a week, the child's mother had a talk with my wife regarding his son's changed behaviour. He used to sit alone and did not talk with anyone. He even stopped sharing things with my son, who happened to be his best friend. The child's parents were tensed; they were in search of a child psychiatrist. I provided them with the contact number of the  best psychiatrist  who also treated my sister's daughter when she was in class 5. I tru...

  This pandemic has influenced both our personal and professional life. It has become extremely difficult for us to differentiate both from each other. As a result, our lives are getting messed up. This work from home concept has taken all the peace of our minds. Towards the beginning of the lock down, my manager had verbally forced me to work 12 hours a day. I tried to manage at first but failed, so I directly talked with him over the phone about the situation but of no use. I had no other option than to work for at least 12 to 13 hours a day. It affected my sleep as I was under stress. Once I tried talking to the head, he also said that nothing could be done as everybody worked hard. When it was the time of appraisal, I neither got the hike of salary I expected nor could I secure the position I deserved and worked hard to achieve.  I got anxious. At first, I thought it would go with time, but my anxiety attacks kept on coming back. My wife witnessed all my whims, and she d...

  A few years back, one day, my elder brother called me and said there was some issue with my nephew. They were unable to make out what the problem was.  So, they wanted me to go there and stay for some days. As I am the closest to my little nephew, they thought he would share his problems with me. After I went there, I found out that my nephew was sitting alone in his room. I entered and asked what the matter was, but he did not answer. I tried talking to him but of no use. All of us were tensed as my nephew was only 5 years old, and he was not behaving like a little kid anymore. We decided to take medical support. So, my brother searched for the  best child psychiatrist inKolkata , and we took him there. The doctor started talking to the little one in such a way that my nephew started replying immediately. After listening to his condition from us, the doctor told us to wait outside as he wanted to talk to my nephew alone. After some time, he called us inside and informe...

My friend is an IT employee. Once while coming back from the office in the evening, her cab met an accident, and she got admitted to the hospital.  Luckily she had minor scratches as she was sitting in the back seat. But, she saw a colleague of hers dying in front of her as he was sitting beside the driver. Even the driver got a number of injuries. The death of her colleague traumatized my friend. Whenever she would go out of her house and take a cab, she would be afraid and would have panic attacks. I told her about the  bestpsychiatrist doctor in Kolkata   who helped me once when I was in need of help regarding my mental health. At first, she was not at all ready for it. But I understood that consulting a psychiatrist was essential as whenever she would go out, after some time, she would sweat, feel choked, tremble out of fear and what not. Even at home, sometimes she would get panic attacks whenever she would think of the accident and the death of her colleague. Finall...

A year back, when the pandemic broke, I got stuck in Bangalore, whereas my wife stayed in Kolkata with my parents. We got married 3 years back, and we were planning for a kid when the situation arrived. I tried hard to go back home but failed each time because of the lockdown.  My wife was managing everything alone there as my parents are quite old. She even lost her job. I was not there to support her, and the work from home concept had taken all the time that I used to give her previously. But I had no idea that the gap of 6 months would change so many things between us. After I came back home, I realized that nothing was the same as before. The trauma of living without me and losing the job at the same time had made her a different person. She was least interested in talking to me. Yes, she did everything to keep my home safe and happy, but she had learned to live without me. I was unable to make her understand my point of view. The communication gap and lack of time for each ot...

  My son is 7 years old. He loved his school and would never be absent no matter what. After the coronavirus arrived, the school got closed, and the teachers started taking the classes online. Like every other parent, I was also worried about my child’s education as before this pandemic, I had no idea about online education, especially for young children.  Towards the beginning, my son was enjoying his extracurricular activity classes more and was facing trouble concentrating in the academic classes. After a few days, I suddenly found a change in his mindset regarding the online classes. He would cry like anything but not join his extracurricular activity classes. The teachers were also asking me to talk to my son about this. My husband and I both tried to talk to him regarding the same but of no use. I was in search of a  good child psychiatrist near me . A friend told me about a child psychiatrist, and I booked an online appointment with him without wasting further time...
