I want to start with a sentence 'Dr. Shyam is an outstanding therapist.'
I started visiting him since February along with my husband. I was going through stress, anxiety and also our marital life was taking a toll. So my husband also decided to see him.
Dr. Shyam ensured, he spoke to us together as well us separately to understand our areas where we were struggling.
He has been very approachable and is a good listener. He is not someone who will just give an advice on mental health or some medicines and let you go. He will try to understand where you are coming from, hear you out. And also constantly encourages to practice different concepts and ideas to live a better life and not just depend on medicines.
Especially in a time like COVID, when the world has changed for all of us, my husband and I felt extremely lucky that we consulted him during this period. We had multiple episodes of arguments and fights in the past due to reasons like work pressure and also being 2 different personalities. But during this lockdown, we did not fight. We did have disagreements but we realised under Dr. Shyam's guidance we were being open to understand each other's situation and made peace with each other. It's such a big change in us.
I have also been facing huge amount of stress and anxiety, which links back to my childhood and I figured out I have been going through depression after we met him.
Dr. Shyam has given me minimal doses and has encouraged me to pick up a healthy lifestyle, like meditation, affirmations, practicing gratitude and told me nothing comes before our mental peace. Such a powerful message! It's been 4 months, and I am doing so much better now. There's a sense of calmness in me. I do not wake up in the morning with heaviness.
He has really been a wonderful guide to help me and my husband get out of the stress and anxiety we were both going through.
We both have been very open to our friends and social circle in saying - yes we are seeing a therapist, and why shouldn't we? It's one life and we all have the right to live it superbly! We don't have to be answerable to anyone to nurture our mental health.
I totally urge people to come forward if you feel there's something you are grappling with and your mental peace is being threatened.. Don't compromise on your mental health, especially when we have such a skilled and wonderful therapist in Mumbai, the right person to go to Dr. Shyam Mithiya. Thank you so much, Doctor. :)

This may be quite long but it does have a happy ending.
To begin with, I did not have any history of any mental health issues prior to getting covid in July of 2020.
I am a recreational runner and have been healthy throughout my
49 years save a few aches and pains or seasonal flu. It all began quite suddenly with my not being able to sleep post covid hospitalisation. Tried all sorts of sleep inducing techniques, meditation..yoga etc but nothing worked. Having slept like a baby most of my life, the situation became quite unnerving night after night. Before covid I was a healthy 59 kgs for my 5 feet 6 .5 inch frame. But I began to lose weight very rapidly and in about 3 weeks had gone down 12 kgs. My bones stuck out of my clothes and people began to stare at me and pass comments. I had to go to the ER twice with an extremely elevated heart rate which seemed to start without a trigger . But my reports were all normal .
I took up some covid counseling but it didn't make my symptoms go away. Then began the jitteriness and I would have racing thoughts. That's when I FInally decided to meet a psychiatrist who gave me some medication but I really couldn't connect with her. There after I met a couple more with no great results.
Until I met Dr. MITHIYA who provided a simple yet compassionate answer to my problem of mild to moderate anxiety. After his treatment and counseling I felt I was on the right track . He was patient and encouraging during all our meetings . Within a couple of weeks, I started to feel my normal self again. 4 months after beginning his treatment I signed up for a virtual marathon and happy to say I completed it. I did yet another one quite recently. I am now back to my pre -covid health , taking care of my family going out with my friends, and I am not looking back. Dr. Mithiya has successfully weaned me off medication. I practice meditation regularly and enjoy my outdoor workouts. My family and I are very grateful to Dr. Mithiya and would recommend him to anyone struggling with mental health issues.

I am fortunate and so grateful that i got to know about Dr Shyam sir. I was under his treatment for Major Depressive Disorder. I still remember the first day of treatment, he patiently listened to what i had to say, helped me clear every knots and thoughts that used to disturb me to a great extent. Throughout my journey Dr Shyam sir was the one who actually understood exactly what i was going through. Visiting him relieved half the stress.From the very first day i knew i was going to be fine and i am in great hands .He truly happen to be a light to my darkness and i mean this sincerely.
Before taking the treatment i felt what if i dont come out of it, what if i never heal
But as and when my treatment proceeded I believed more in the path of healing .A little information about the medication that i was put on were Voxitin and Sanzi. I was started with low dose and trust me these medications are super safe with very little side effects .In my case there were no side.
effects.I happen to see changes in me as when time passed getting more healed, more normal, more like the person who i was before.
Throughout my treatment he has been very motivating. Super thankful !!
And yes mental health is important as important as the physical health. It’s important that each one of us gives priority to it and not hesitate to go to the doctor when it comes to mental illness.
Lets normalise this journey of Mental illness —Mental wellness.
I will be glad if through my review you decide to visit Dr Shyam, most experienced, passionate psychiatrist in Mumbai.

I was very tired looking for a doctor for my mother's problem. Before consulting Dr. Mithiya, we visited many doctors for the same issue be it homeopathic, allopathic and even ayurvedic but her health was continuously deteriorating. No improvement! We thought of quitting and live with the situation and then I thought to give a last try and I searched where I found Dr. Mithiya.** ** ****** **** ** *** *** *** In these kind of brain related things its very important to understand the root cause and patient's state of mind which Dr. Mithiya did brilliantly. He understood the issue and gave medicines accordingly. We started to see improvements in just less than 3 months. 1 more thing I liked about the doctor is that he saw the improvement and started reducing the doses too which others don't do generally. My mother is all fine today with god's grace and because of Dr. Shyam Mithiya. Thank you so much 🙏

Dr. Shyam is a good listener *** * **** **** ******* And He is pretty nice to talk to. *** ********* *** **** ********** I have recovered quite well from depression with his treatment and prescribed medicines. With Dr Shyam's treatment I'm doing well now by regularly taking the medicines. And i will stop it when the doctor says then. It's important to note that once you start taking the medicines, take it regularly and on the same time as told by the doctor since stopping to take medicines in between can result in bad side effects at times. I'm telling this from my personal experience. Never stop the medication abruptly. Thank you Dr. Shyam Mithiya for the treatment. God bless you with happiness throughout your life :)

I visited Dr. Shyam Mithiya when I was down with depression and Schizoid Personality Disorder since 5 years and wasn't getting the right treatment, despite changing 6 doctors. I had given-up on therapy and treatment. Dr. Shyam changed my belief for the good. He got me out of the trenches in just 1 month and extended his support and care, when I had lost everything in life. I have been able to take control of my life and have been able to feel happy after years. It's very rare to find such doctors in this day and age. I can't thank him enough for making it possible for me to get a fair chance at life again.
