Dr. Anindo Mitra
Dr. Anindo Mitra is a Consultant Psychiatrist at Athena Behavioural Health, Gurugram, with 5 years of clinical experience and training from JIPMER - one of India's premier medical institutes. Getting the diagnosis right - carefully, thoroughly, without rushing - is the foundation of everything that follows. He prefers longer first consultations. He takes a detailed history covering biological, psychological, and social factors - not just what symptoms are present, but why the illness may have developed.
He follow a cafeteria approach to treatment: once he has a clear diagnosis, he present the evidence-based options available -medications, therapy, lifestyle changes, or a combination - and he decide together what fits your life, values, and goals.
He also believes in using the minimum effective medication. Where clinically appropriate, he actively works toward simplifying treatment - reducing doses, stopping unnecessary medications, and building toward recovery that is not indefinitely drug-dependent.

Dr. Anindo Treatment Approach
The first consultation is longer than most. A detailed history - biological, psychological, and social - is taken before any treatment decision is made. Getting the diagnosis right is the foundation of everything that follows.
The first consultation is longer than most. A detailed history - biological, psychological, and social - is taken before any treatment decision is made. Getting the diagnosis right is the foundation of everything that follows.
All evidence-based options medications, psychotherapy, neuromodulation, lifestyle interventions are explained clearly, including benefits, side effects, and realistic outcomes. You choose what works for you.
Treatment is not open-ended. From the start, there is a clear plan - what we are treating, how long it may take, and what recovery looks like. Medication is a tool, not a default
Follow-up is not just about renewing prescriptions. Progress is reviewed against the original plan, and wherever clinically appropriate, the goal is to reduce or stop medication - not manage indefinitely.
