The hardest part about getting treatment for mental health is that even when things start to get better, they don’t necessarily get easier. I find it difficult just to come for appointments. What I really appreciate is how understanding the team has always been about my struggle with these simple things. Knowing I can count on them has been a true blessing

Three other doctors had diagnosed me with ADHD in few minutes, which I always felt is very random. But Dr. Akul at BetterPlace suggested I get an assessment done first before sharing a diagnosis which made me feel more comfortable. I’m really happy doctor spent so much time with me, he is so senior and still. Test results also he explained so well

I had put on a lot of weight. Some people said maybe it’s an eating disorder but I was too ashamed to visit a doctor because judgment is always there. But a friend told me how non-judgmental BetterPlace is, and that is really true. Doctors are very good and even if i make a mistake they don’t say anything demotivating. Treatment is going amazing and i’m more relaxed

I’m a data analyst who believes in hard data. My daughter was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 13. We tried many doctors but she never clicked with any of them. She’s 20 now and I think we’ve finally found the right doctor. She seems comfortable. I am also much happier because I get regular reports and I can see how progress is happening and how my daughter is improving

When I told my friends I have anxiety they would always say, Arrey just relax, it’s not a big deal etc. Social anxiety people say is not a real problem. I also started thinking that and blaming myself. But at BetterPlace, doctor first explained why it happens. In my brain, in my heart, i got it and i could see, Oh, this is not my fault. I even went out for dinner after a long time. I felt nice

Because of dad’s schizophrenia, our family was always treated differently. People in public would stare at us if dad was acting out. Even our own relatives would avoid us. But thanks to the family therapy and support at BetterPlace, my mother, sister and I have found some peace as well. Even dad’s treatment is better. He’s taking his medicines more seriously. I am so grateful!
You can speak to Ms. Ayushi Paul about concerns such as anxiety, depression, substance use, behavioural difficulties, relationship issues, psychotic disorders, trauma, and personality-related concerns.

Ms. Ayushi Paul is a Consultant Clinical Psychologist with an M.Phil in Clinical Psychology and RCI registration. Her training and work experience include the Air Force Medical Establishment in Delhi, the de-addiction and psychiatric unit of Lady Hardinge Medical College, and CIMBS, New Delhi.

Ms. Ayushi Paul uses an integrative approach, drawing from CBT, DBT, mindfulness-based practices, and neuropsychologically informed techniques. She focuses on helping you understand your patterns, manage distress, and build healthier ways of coping.
If Ms. Ayushi Paul feels that you may benefit from medical support along with therapy, she can help you explore that next step within BetterPlace’s collaborative care model. She will work with the in-house psychiatrist and collaborate on your care with them. This does not mean therapy has failed.
