The compassion we ask patients to show themselves, we owe to our colleagues and to ourselves. Seeking help is a healthcare decision, not a weakness. - **The six-pack standard** (1 July 2026): Social media sells men a body built on restrictive diets, overtraining and sometimes drugs. Aim instead for stamina, strength, mobility and sleep, habits that last rather than a look that does not. - **Schizophrenia rarely begins suddenly** (24 May 2026): It often starts quietly: withdrawal, suspicion, sleeping differently, not seeming like oneself. Families notice that something has changed. Seeking help at that stage leads to a much better outlook. - **Burnout is more than a definition** (16 May 2026): It is the doctor who once cared deeply and now feels numb. Recovery starts with small corrections: sleep, regular meals, a few close people, exercise, boundaries and asking for help early. - **Names shape how people are treated** (13 May 2026): The renaming of PCOS is a lesson for psychiatry: say a person with schizophrenia or with a substance use disorder, not a label that becomes their whole identity. - **There is no single best therapist** (11 May 2026): The relationship between client and therapist is one of the strongest predictors of progress. A mismatch is a common reason therapy stalls, and changing to a better fit is part of good care. - **"Be strong, you're a man" needs to change** (15 April 2026): Many men reach their lowest point with almost no one to talk to. It should be normal to say: you are human, it is all right to feel weak, to fail and to ask for help. - **Exams don't fail students. Unmanaged stress does** (21 January 2026): Focused 25-minute blocks, a realistic plan, regular revision, sleep and meals, breathing exercises, and talking to someone: what he recommends in clinic before exams. ## Education and training - **Doctor of Medicine (MD), Psychiatry**, D. Y. Patil University, Navi Mumbai (2022 to 2025), first class. Residency programme in psychiatry, with a thesis, papers, posters, workshops, quizzes and debates. - **Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS)**, Hamdard Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Jamia Hamdard (2016 to 2021), first class. Followed by a year of internship (2021 to 2022). Writing, the literary club, sketching, dramatics and singing on the side. - **School**, Delhi Public School, R.K. Puram (2009 to 2015). Schooling in New Delhi. - **Workshop on Management of Substance Use Disorders**, National Drug Dependence Treatment Centre (NDDTC), AIIMS New Delhi (August 2026). Clinical management of substance use disorders, from India's national centre for addiction treatment. - **Hands-on workshop on rTMS**, HIMPSYCON 2026, Jim Corbett (May 2026). Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and its role in treatment-resistant psychiatric conditions. - **Winner, annual BPS debate competition** (February 2025). Won during his MD residency at D.

Depression is different: a low mood, or a loss of interest in things you used to enjoy, that lasts for weeks and starts to get in the way of work, study, relationships or simply getting through the day. It is common, it is not a weakness, and it can be treated. Most people need a mix of talking, practical support and, sometimes, medicine. Common signs: - Feeling sad, empty or flat most of the day, for two weeks or more - Losing interest or pleasure in things you used to enjoy - Sleeping much more or much less than usual - Tiredness and low energy, even after rest - Changes in appetite or weight - Finding it hard to concentrate or make decisions - Feeling worthless or guilty - Thoughts that life is not worth living When to see a psychiatrist: See a psychiatrist if low mood has lasted more than two weeks, if it is affecting your daily life, or if you have thoughts of harming yourself. How he can help: Care starts with an unhurried conversation about your mood, sleep, health and what is happening in your life. Together you agree on a plan: talking therapy, practical changes, and medicine when it will help, with regular follow-up to see how you are doing. **Will I need medicine for depression?** Not always. Milder depression often improves with talking therapy and changes to sleep, activity and routine. When medicine will help, he explains why, what to expect and for how long, and you decide together. **Can depression be treated online?** Yes. Online consultations by video or voice call work well for depression, from anywhere in India or abroad. # Anxiety and panic https://iamadityavohra.com/anxiety/ Worry is a normal part of life. Anxiety becomes a problem when it is constant, out of proportion or hard to switch off, and when it starts to decide what you do and what you avoid. Panic attacks are sudden waves of intense fear with a racing heart, breathlessness or dizziness. They feel frightening, but they can be understood and treated. Common signs: - Worrying most days about many different things - Overthinking and finding it hard to switch off - Restlessness, irritability or feeling on edge - Trouble falling or staying asleep - A racing heart, tight chest, sweating or trembling - Sudden panic attacks, sometimes out of nowhere - Avoiding places, people or situations because of fear When to see a psychiatrist: See a psychiatrist if anxiety is present most days, if panic attacks keep coming back, or if fear is making you avoid work, study, travel or people. How he can help: He starts by understanding what sets off the anxiety and how it affects your body, sleep and day. A plan can include ways to manage worry and panic, therapy with a psychologist, and medicine when it will help. **Are panic attacks dangerous?** A panic attack feels frightening but is not dangerous in itself. It is still worth a check, both to rule out physical causes and to learn how to stop attacks from returning. **Are medicines for anxiety addictive?** Some medicines can cause dependence if taken for a long time, and others do not. He explains each option, its benefits and its risks, so you can decide together. # Addiction and substance use https://iamadityavohra.com/addiction/ Alcohol, cannabis, nicotine, painkillers or other drugs can slowly move from habit to need. Addiction is a health condition, not a moral failing, and it can be treated. Dr. Aditya Vohra has worked in addiction psychiatry at Vardhman Mahavir Medical College and Safdarjung Hospital, and attended a workshop on the management of substance use disorders at the National Drug Dependence Treatment Centre, AIIMS New Delhi. Common signs: - Using more, or for longer, than you meant to - Wanting to cut down but not managing to - Cravings or strong urges to use - Shakiness, sweating, poor sleep or irritability when you stop - Problems at work, at home or with money because of use - Giving up activities you used to enjoy - Family members worried about your use When to see a psychiatrist: See a psychiatrist if you have tried to cut down and could not, if you have withdrawal symptoms, or if your family is worried. After heavy drinking, stopping suddenly can be dangerous, so get medical advice before you stop. How he can help: Care is confidential and without judgment. It can include a safe, supervised plan to stop or cut down, medicines that ease withdrawal and reduce cravings, counselling, and support for the family. **Can my family come to the consultation?** Yes. Families often notice the problem first, and their support helps recovery. Family members can also come on their own for guidance on how to help. **Is it safe to stop alcohol on my own?** After long or heavy drinking, stopping suddenly can cause serious withdrawal. Speak to a doctor first, so that stopping can be planned safely. # ADHD https://iamadityavohra.com/adhd/ Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects attention, activity and impulse control. It usually begins in childhood and often continues into adult life, where it can show up as disorganisation, missed deadlines and restlessness. With the right assessment and support, children and adults with ADHD can do well at school, at work and at home. Common signs: - Finding it hard to stay focused, or getting distracted easily - Losing things and forgetting everyday tasks - Trouble organising work and finishing what you start - Restlessness, fidgeting or always being on the go - Acting or speaking without thinking - Difficulties at school or work despite real effort When to see a psychiatrist: See a psychiatrist if attention or restlessness is causing problems at school, at work or at home, and has been there for a long time rather than only during a stressful phase. How he can help: Assessment covers how things are now and how they were in childhood, with input from parents or teachers for children. Treatment can combine practical strategies, behavioural support, changes at school or work, and medicine where it will help. **Can adults have ADHD?** Yes. Many adults were never assessed as children. ADHD in adults is assessed and treated too. **Is ADHD caused by bad parenting?** No. ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition. Parents can, however, learn approaches that make daily life easier for the whole family. # OCD https://iamadityavohra.com/ocd/ Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) involves unwanted thoughts, images or urges that keep coming back (obsessions), and things you feel you have to do to ease the distress they cause (compulsions). OCD is not about being tidy. It can take up hours of the day and cause real suffering, and it can be treated. Common signs: - Unwanted, distressing thoughts that keep returning - Repeated checking of locks, switches or messages - Washing or cleaning far more than needed - Counting, arranging or repeating actions until it feels right - Asking for reassurance again and again - Spending an hour or more a day on these thoughts or actions When to see a psychiatrist: See a psychiatrist if obsessions or compulsions take up a lot of time, cause distress, or get in the way of your daily life. How he can help: Treatment usually combines a form of cognitive behavioural therapy called exposure and response prevention with medicine when it is needed. He explains both, and the plan is paced to what you can manage. **Can OCD be treated without medicine?** Some people do well with therapy alone, particularly exposure and response prevention. Others benefit from medicine as well. The choice depends on how severe the OCD is and on what you prefer. # Autism spectrum https://iamadityavohra.com/autism/ Autism is a lifelong difference in how a person communicates, relates to others and experiences the world. Every autistic child is different, and support works best when it starts from the child's strengths and needs. An early assessment helps families understand their child and find the right support at home and at school. Common signs: - Delayed speech, or speech used in unusual ways - Little eye contact, or not responding to their name - Preferring to play alone, or finding it hard to share interests - A strong need for routine, and distress at change - Repetitive movements, or intense and focused interests - Being very sensitive, or under-sensitive, to sound, touch or light When to see a psychiatrist: See a psychiatrist if you have concerns about your child's speech, social development or behaviour. You do not need a referral to ask. How he can help: Assessment involves the parents and time with the child. Support can include guidance for the family, working with therapists and the school, and care for related difficulties such as sleep, anxiety or attention. **At what age can autism be assessed?** Signs can often be noticed in the first two to three years, and an assessment can be done at any age when there are concerns. # Child and adolescent mental health https://iamadityavohra.com/children-and-teenagers/ Children and teenagers go through big changes, and it is not always easy to tell a passing phase from something that needs help. Changes in behaviour, mood, sleep, eating or school can all be signs that a young person is struggling. Care is gentle, involves the parents, and is shaped around the child's age and needs. Common signs: - Lasting sadness, irritability or anger - Withdrawing from friends or family - Refusing to go to school, or a drop in school work - Changes in sleep or eating - Worries or fears that get in the way of daily life - Self-harm, or talk of not wanting to live When to see a psychiatrist: Seek help if changes last for more than a few weeks, affect school or family life, or if a young person talks about self-harm. How he can help: The first consultation includes time with the parents and, where suitable, time with the young person alone. A plan can include therapy, guidance for the family, work with the school and, only where needed, medicine. **Should a parent come to the consultation?** Yes. A parent or guardian should come for children and teenagers. Older teenagers may also have some time alone with the doctor. # Relationship and family difficulties https://iamadityavohra.com/relationships-and-family/ Relationships with a partner, parents or children shape how we feel every day. Ongoing conflict, distance or a breakdown in trust can lead to stress, low mood, anxiety and poor sleep. Sometimes one person needs support. Sometimes it helps for the couple or family to come together. Common signs: - Frequent arguments that never get resolved - Feeling unheard, alone or distant within the relationship - Stress at home affecting sleep, work or health - Difficulty coping with a separation or a change in the family - Worry about how conflict is affecting children When to see a psychiatrist: Seek help when problems at home are affecting your mood, sleep or daily life, or when you feel stuck. How he can help: He listens to each person, looks at how the difficulties affect mental health, and agrees on a plan that can include individual or family sessions with a psychologist, and care for any depression or anxiety. **Can we come as a couple or as a family?** Yes. You can come alone, as a couple or with family members, whichever helps most. # Burnout and work stress https://iamadityavohra.com/burnout-and-stress/ Burnout is the exhaustion that builds up after long periods of stress at work, especially when demands are high and rest is short. It can leave you drained, detached and less effective, even in a job you once cared about. Burnout often overlaps with depression, anxiety and sleep problems, and it is worth looking at properly rather than pushing through. Common signs: - Feeling exhausted most of the time - Cynicism or detachment from work and people - Feeling that nothing you do is enough - Poor sleep, headaches or frequent illness - Irritability and difficulty switching off - Relying on alcohol, caffeine or other substances to cope When to see a psychiatrist: Seek help if exhaustion does not improve with rest, if you dread work every day, or if it is affecting your health and relationships. How he can help: He looks at your work, sleep and health, checks for depression or anxiety, and agrees on practical steps for recovery, with therapy and medicine only where they will help. **Is burnout the same as depression?** They overlap but are not the same. Burnout is tied to stress at work, while depression affects every part of life. A consultation helps tell them apart, because the care is different. # Psychosis and schizophrenia https://iamadityavohra.com/psychosis-and-schizophrenia/ Psychosis is when a person loses some contact with reality. They may hear or see things others do not, or hold fixed beliefs that people around them do not share. Schizophrenia is one of the conditions in which psychosis occurs. It rarely begins suddenly. Families often notice a gradual change first, and getting help early can make a real difference to recovery. Common signs: - Withdrawing from friends, family, work or studies - Suspicion or fear that others mean harm - Hearing voices or seeing things others do not - Unusual beliefs that do not make sense to others - Speech or behaviour that seems confused - Sleeping poorly and neglecting self-care When to see a psychiatrist: Seek help as early as possible if you notice these changes in yourself or in someone close to you. If someone may harm themselves or others, call 112. How he can help: Care involves a careful assessment, medicine that treats the symptoms, support and education for the family, and regular follow-up. Many people with psychosis recover well and return to work and study. **Will the person need to be admitted to hospital?** Most people can be treated as outpatients, with the family involved. Admission is considered only if someone is unsafe or very unwell.
