Dr. Hemashri Chaturvedi

Dr. Hemashri has always been passionate about the subject of mental health and hence decided to pursue Psychiatry as her Postgraduate specialisation. She did her DNB from KJ Somaiya hospital in Mumbai and then worked in Dr. RN Cooper and LTMGH(Sion hospital)- two of the busiest hospitals in Mumbai. As a Psychiatrist, she assesses and treats patients with a variety of psychiatric illnesses, and believes that being patient, and maintaining an unbiased, kind, and empathetic approach is key to helping her patients. She prioritizes holistic recovery and rehabilitation for her patients and helps them lead satisfying and productive lives. She believes that mental health has always been misunderstood and undervalued by people and this stigma is the biggest hindrance in providing quality mental healthcare to all. She has also been active in community outreach camps and activities to spread awareness and promote mental health. Today, after so many years of working closely with mental illnesses and their treatment, she could not be more satisfied with the feeling of being able to help those who have been unheard, misunderstood, and mocked for centuries.
