Dr. Akanksha Sharma

I love the approach she has for her patients.\nShe praises me for every small step I take towards recovery, doesn't dismiss or invalidate my feelings, doesn't preach, and doesn't 'tell me what to do' and instead suggests alternative ways in which I can help myself towards recovery, which is exactly what a professional in this field should do.\nShe understands that meds work for some people and they don't for others, which is why she makes sure that everytime she prescibes me a new med, if it's working or not and changes them accordingly. \nShe prioritises her patients over whatever their family has to say and I feel that that's something very rarely found in Indian medical Field. She has a progressive and liberal mindset which makes it easy for me to open up to her about literally anything.\nI remember visiting her 10 months ago, when my mental health was so bad, getting out of bed felt like chore. It was the inauguration day of her new hospital building, but not only did she willingly gave me her time but also empathized with me. For the first time in my life I felt so seen by a doctor, who doesn't dismiss my issues, doesn't order me to change myself, instead makes sure that I bring about lifestyle changes gradually. As someone who slept all through the day and suffered with executive dysfunction, today i am not only acing my academics but also thriving in my extra-curriculars at college.\nMental Health services are largely inaccessible in india because of a myriad of reasons, and the least talked among them is the lack of practitioners who genuinely understand the human psyche and not just from a scientific perspective but also from a humanitarian perspective and Dr. Akansha is that person, who understands both and is amazing at both the things!

To start with - let me tell you that I never ever imagined I'll ever fall into anxiety or depression which is in reality the extreme mental state one could possibly be in, or think of.

Hello, I came to know about Dr.Akansha from one of my friend, Before I met her I was quite nervous bcz I visited her alone and in Indian Society meeting an psychiatrist is declaring someone "mentally retarded" but after Meeting her i was soo relieved and I haven't felt that i m a patient, it felt like I was talking to a good friend of mine and she understood me very well. I am an UPSC aspirant and during the preparation phase I went through a lot of down phases plus increasing family issues. I consulted her for the same and now i can say UPSC journey become easier for me as my point of view has changed towards my life and goal. I really want to thank Dr. Akansha and her team ( Dr. Tanya & Saba) for constant support and focusing more on permanent solution rather than depending upon medicines. Feeling happy 😊
