My feedback about overcoming depression with your awesome help.
I was unable to even concentrate in my work. I will be working, but my inner mind always asked me to die. I even wonder at my colleagues how they sit patiently and work. Won’t they also be having the feeling to die? With all my tears and battle in mind, I continued to work. In the very same building at Mambalam, Chennai, i found Dr. Ramakrishnan sir’s board and contacted the Athma Hospitals, Trichy if atleast they would give me a solution. Once after meeting the doctor i and my family was known that I am severely affected with depression and was asked to come for the treatment at Athma Hospital, Trichy. I initially underwent ECG test and MRI scan. I was admitted and took ECTs on every early morning on alternative days for 10 days.
I found the relief in the very first dosage. I started talking happily and peacefully with the doctors, family and friends from then. By successive ECTs and observations of doctors and the sisters, I was able to see heaven in the hospital and latter the world. I was advised by doctor to have tablets for an year after the finish of my treatment. Regular follow ups and reviews made me mentally stronger. The Doctors,Social workers, Counsellors, Sisters everyone treated kind heartedly and made me get through the worst session of my life. I then started working in a Play School at Chennai. Being with kids my world became even happier, and also learnt how to be patient to handle the toddlers. I was taking pills when i was working, as per the doctor’s advice.
All think that taking treatment and pills for depression is something hilarious. But that will really help you out in waking up to be the real you. Kindly people don’t ever hesitate to have treatment for depression. We’re all blessed and lucky to have treatment for depression. I could never forget the doctors, and all the members who work in the hospital that they enabled me to come up in my life. Medications should be followed strictly as per doctor’s advice. Never ever hesitate to take treatment for depression. I myself is an example. Your life will have a tremendous change, when you thought you never had hope on life. Please don’t hesitate to take treatment for depression. It isn’t a prestige issue to say one is affected from depression. It’s the real illness of mental health. Don’t battle yourself, rather hurry up getting the treatment and having a blessed life ever ahead.

My family and I are very grateful to ATHMA for getting my son back to normal.
He has undergone psychiatric treatment for the last 7 years by different doctors however he couldn’t be back to normal. He is pursuing BDS course since 2005 but could not complete the course all these years because of his ill mental health. Now on the advice of Dr. Arun B Nair, Psychiatrist, Trivandrun my son was taken to ATHMA hospitals for consultation in the middle of Dec. 2017 and advised inpatient care in the hospital for 2 weeks. Accordingly he was admitted and discharged on the 16th day with remarkable improvement and guidance to continue medication and periodical review. That’s being done now. He is now attending classes regularly at ease and he is expected to complete the course in some time.
The specialty I noticed at ATHMA is that there are a team of 6 qualified Psychiatrists who examine every case together under Dr. K. Ramakrishnan and arrive at a concrete decision on diagnosis and medicines besides regular counselling by experienced counsellors which is unique to ATHMA only and is seldom found elsewhere. Here I need to make a special mention about Dr. Nair without whose help i would not have known of ATHMA HOSPITALS.
In my 30’s (2000) I was proud to be part of very high class? So called … High class People… I started as a social drinker. But then slowly and ABRUPTLY the taste of alcohol got into me. It became a daily routine, whatever the day may be…. My habits changed… For example… when I saw a beggar approaching me, I could have silently denied…. Instead. I used to abuse him of his well built physic and that he should be ashamed of begging… and that he should work to get his piece of bread. BUT on the contrary in the bar lounge after couple of drinks I would offer my co-drinker (sometimes he might be a stranger to me) a peg or two…which could easily cost me around 300 Rs./per day.
Slowly I could feel the society’s eye on me. My family started avoiding me when I was under the influence of Alcohol. As the saying goes … Every beginning has an end …
My wife took me to THE ATHMA De-addiction centre in 2010. It was the first time in my life, I was left alone but under the Medicare ATHMA TEAM.
I took this opportunity positively under their guidance and this helped to look on my innerself and I realised how I had spoilt my life and that of my family under the influency of Alcohol. Now I proudly share with my kith and kin that I have successfully ever one that dreadful DISEASE. But now, with confidence I can say I NEVER EVER THINK OF ALCOHOL.
I even started recommending / sending my friends to Athma for treatment. 7 out of 9 cases have recovered and are running a joyful family… I really wonder… sometime ? The same GOD who had given a choice of alcohol has given Athma.

I came here in December 2018, for my brother’s treatment. Before treatment he was reserved & moody. He can’t do his daily works. He can’t understand what we are saying & could not mingle with family members. After treatment, he mingled with family members. He shared his thoughts and he is able to do his daily works. Now he became capable for going to job. This treatment was very useful for us. We are happy with this treatment.
(Brother of Mr. B)
At first it was really hard on my part being a patient. After I came here, I slowly realized what is going on with me. The treatment I received made me feel the normality that was missing from me for the past few years. Now I was relieved of my mental stress which I don’t know how I acquired. I feel like I am full of confidence and enthusiasm. I am really grateful for yours kindness and care. Thank you for making me a person that I am now.

I came from Singapore in 2007 to India with my depression problem. Immediately I was admitted in Athma hospital and I stayed here for 3 weeks. I got recovered in short span time with very good doctors’ attention and service by nurses here. Basically my family was hoping whether I would become normal person. Since 2007, I am taking medicines regularly. I feel very good in all aspects. Athma gave new life to me. Initially I was taking more tablets, now I am taking only one tablet for my condition. I also recommended this hospital to those who have this problem. They also got cured and have good feedback from them. All the best Athma and continues the same in near future.
