The clinic
A clinic built around the one thing nobody gives you: time.
A clinic built around the one thing nobody gives you: time. Not a five-minute slot with a prescription pad already open - an unhurried consultation with a psychiatrist who wants the whole story before he says a word about treatment.
Healthy Minds India is a mental health clinic in Patna offering a warm, welcoming environment for people seeking help with depression, anxiety, Schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and other psychiatric conditions. Under one roof, it brings together psychiatry, neuropsychiatry, counselling and psychotherapy, de-addiction programmes, biofeedback, transcranial magnetic stimulation and multiple behavioural therapies.
In Bihar, a person with a fractured wrist goes to a hospital the same day. A person who has not slept properly in four months waits longer, tries every remedy first, and often only arrives at a crisis. That delay is not ignorance - it is stigma, and it costs families years they never get back.
So the clinic is deliberately unhurried. Care is delivered in a respectful and compassionate manner, treatment is explained before it starts, and every plan is built around the biological, psychological and social dimensions of the illness - never a prescription alone.
Our approach is highly personalised - emphasising the biological, psychological and social dimensions of mental illness.
That thinking extends outside the clinic too. Dr. Kumar founded the Bihar Healthy Mind Foundation, a non-profit that raises mental health awareness and works to make care reachable for marginalized communities across the state.
