Talking about your mind is hard enough. Doing it in a language that does not feel natural makes it harder. Dr. Satish Kumar runs full consultations in English, so you can explain what you are going through clearly and in your own words.
A psychiatric diagnosis depends almost entirely on conversation. Your psychiatrist needs to understand how you sleep, what worries you, how your mood shifts through the day, and what is happening at home or at work. People describe feelings most clearly in the language they think in, and small details often decide the diagnosis.
If you are more comfortable in English, the whole consultation, the explanation of your diagnosis and your treatment plan can be in English.
Working professionals and students. Many people describe stress, burnout, anxiety or low mood more easily in English, especially if that is the language they use at work or college.
Patients from other states. If you moved to Delhi or Noida from South India, the North East or elsewhere and do not speak Hindi comfortably, you can consult entirely in English.
Expats and NRIs. Foreign nationals living in Delhi NCR and Indians living abroad can consult in English, in person or through an online consultation.
Families with mixed preferences. If some family members prefer English and others prefer Hindi, the consultation can move between both. Dr. Satish also consults in Hindi.
