Visited Dr. Srinivas K (Neuropsychiatrist) For Unexplained Physical Symptoms
Happy with: Explanation of the health issue
My experience, living with depression is many things, incredibly difficult to describe but comparable to wearing a weighted vest, a life dampener, distorting my view of myself, of other people and what I could achieve. Along with this was a great deal of mental pain, pain that would often leave me very confused as to the cause and indecisive at the smallest decisions; such as what shirt to wear before work in the morning. Furthermore, my illness brought a strong, inner dialogue that would ask
“what is the point of carrying on if everything I do seems to be so difficult, sad and devoid of any pleasure?”
“I suffered from a depression known as major depressive disorder; this is the label given if the duration is long term, like mine, and to varying degrees of severity. Despite this, I still strived to live a normal, happy and healthy life; I went to University, travelled and worked in various sectors and businesses. Nethertheless, underlying these 10 years of experiences was a persistent and destructive undercurrent of depression that seemed there to stay indefinitely. An inexplicable illness that would become very disruptive, when more severe, and would occur for seemingly no rhyme or reason.
“I tried countless ways to cure myself, on my own and with medical help, including: exercise, counselling, antidepressants, a change of work, pursuing activities and hobbies that I enjoy and trying to be as sociable as possible. However, the problematic symptoms would always come back, sometimes more severe after a temporary period of relief that these treatments gave me.
“At a particularly difficult and recent time, my illness took a turn for the worse and I was having a relentless barrage of intrusive and unwanted suicidal thoughts despite never having previously self-harmed or put plans into motion to commit suicide. For 10 years the only thing I ever wanted was an effective treatment for this illness that was consuming my life in its wake. Little did I know, at the most challenging times, that it would come in the form of a treatment I stumbled across whilst listening to a podcast discussion on YouTube.
Finally approached KARLA for rTMS which saved my life.

Happy with: Explanation of the health issue
Visited KARLA for my suicidal behavior. I've tried more than couple of psychology and psychiatric treatment across globe. it greatly impacted my career and personal life very very badly.
Heard about clinic though my friend as Doc has great understanding and accumen. He prescribed medications with least side effects and it helped me alot to improve my quality of life..But as I've been planning for pregnancy I ve to choose different methods.
Myself first discussed TMS therapy with a psychiatrist, I had definitely heard about this new form of treatment but never thought he would be one to try it. At the time, I was working as a restaurant cook.The intensity and fast pace of his job brought his anxiety symptoms to the surface, which caused him to seek therapy and medication.
As his anxiety became under control, I ve noticed my depression was becoming more severe. I spoke with my psychiatrist about how different types and doses of antidepressants weren’t working as well as hoped, and his psychiatrist recommended TMS.
I was certainly hesitant about treatment. I was nervous about the time commitment—about 30 minutes a day five days a week—but was excited about the noninvasive and non-systemic qualities of TMS. After a difficult first session, reported felt “like a newer person.” I started feeling happier and consequently being and looking happier—a result he is happy about.
“After these treatments, I feel like I'm more connected with myself and the world around me, and I can truly recommended to everyone who is actually suffering like me

Hoped for better: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for moneyWait time
After booking an appointment through Practo, I went to consult Dr. Srinivas Kandrakonda on 6.06.2023 for my daughter's problems. I was told to wait for half an hour. But when, after one and half hour, my turn came, my daughter and I entered the doctor's chamber; and I was quite disappointed to see that the sitting arrangement was made in such a way that there was no scope for talking to the doctor face-to-face. The patients are made to sit on a sofa placed far away from the doctor and that too in an 'L' shaped alignment with the doctor* *** * ** **** ** *** **** ************ **** **** *** ********* ** ****** *** ******* **** ************* ** **** ** ** *** ***** ** ******* ** ******** *** **** ******* ** * ******* ******* To make the picture clearer I must say that the patient is facing a wall and the doctor is facing the patient diagonally; as if facing the opposite wall. *** ******* *********** ** ***** ** **** *** **** ******* *** *** *** ***** ******** ** ***** **** **** ************** ** *** ****** ******* ***** **** *** *******. ********* *** ****** ****** ********** ** ** ** **** ******* ** * ****** **** ** *********** *** **** ***** ***** after about 15 minutes or so, receptionist started knocking on the door and then opening the door just to frown upon us, ********* **** ** ********* ** ****** * ******** ******* *** ** **** ** **** **** ** ****** ****** ********** and the type of behavior of the receptionist continued several times during the consultation spanning about 30 minutes - ********** **** *** ***** ******* ** *** ******* ** **** why the doctor didn't raise any objection to such behavior of the receptionist! ** ***** **** *** ***** ********** ** ******* ** ***** ** ***** * ************* ******** ** *** ******* ** ****** ******* **** ******. Finally, after such a hurried consultation, the doctor instead of giving advice chose to ask the patient some questions like: "Has anyone told you anything about your problems?" and "What do you think you would do now?"The doctor advised 3 medicines and a blood test. The cost of the blood test is Rs.5000/-. But he kindly agreed to give me a discount of 25%, so I had to pay Rs.4200/- to his pharmacy. I purchased the prescribed medicines from his pharmacy and came back home. But since we were not at all satisfied with the doctor and his clinic, we decided not to follow the doctor's advice. We also got disappointed when we saw that the doctor started preparing the prescription even before finishing our consultation in a hurried manner *** ** ***** ************* *********

Visited Dr. Srinivas K (Neuropsychiatrist) For Suicidal Behavior
Happy with: Explanation of the health issue
rTMS saved my life. Or perhaps I saved my own life by taking a chance. Either way, I’m 59-years-old and I’ve been extremely depressed all my life and suicidal, I felt worthless, and any dreams I had seemed far from possible. That day, I was simply calling down a list of psychiatrists in order to refill my medication when I called KARLA. They pinpoint the very specific “emotion center” of the brain, on the left side by your temple, lean you back. It just clicked one day about a week or so before I finished the treatment and boom. It was on. It was working. I could literally feel it humming, all warm and wonderful. Which I am now. Very happy. I finished a couple weeks ago now and they said I will continue to progress for the next three months. These people are like my family, they are angels and this treatment is great. It has been life-changing. My depression and anxiety stemming from chronic pain are in much better control, nearly in complete remission. I’m feeling like the person I knew was inside me is in charge again. All the staff are great people, from reception to the Doc. It's a relaxing environment. I can possibly recommend TM for people of real need
