Many of us silently experience from mental health conditions time to time. This may be due to the lifestyle stressors, professional challenges, relationship frictions, genetically inherited problems and so on. When we keep ignoring the initial symptoms, these problems develop into a serious illness. The cure depends how early the help is taken and also how much the doctor has explored and understood the extent of the situation and how these symptoms were handled by the doctor. So it becomes very important to understand about what you are experiencing and consult a right specialist at the earliest.

Psychiatry is a medical specialty that is not well understood or accepted by general public as other specialties. The lack of understanding, combined with negative portrayals and social stigma, makes many people wary about seeing a psychiatrist for the mental health issues. To add to this there are various myths about psychiatrist and psychiatric medications are still prevalent in our system. These myths are dangerous and act as major barriers for treatment seeking. As with many things in life, the more right kind of information we are equipped with, the less likely we are to allow myths to colour our outlook.
