Homeopathy lays weightage on both, symptoms of the mind and the body. It is impossible to successfully treat a disease unless the person is evaluated as a whole. This is where Psychotherapy compliments Homeopathy wonderfully. Over the past several years, I have had the occasion to participate in the treatment of several patients jointly with Dr Kinjal Goyal and the patients have significantly benefited from her expertise in the subject of psychotherapy.

Heart diseases and impaired mental health are amongst the major contributors of the global illness burden. Research has demonstrated that the thoughts, beliefs, attitudes and emotive footprint of an individual can significantly impact his or her biological functioning. Mental health disorders like depression, anxiety, and PTSD can develop after cardiac events, and often remain under-recognized and hence under-treated.

It is important for the medical community to be aware of and recognize the importance of the mind and body connection and not view them as two distinct entities. The intriguing amalgamation of mental health disorders with Cardiac diseases is mediated not only through complex biological and psychological pathways, but also indirectly through risky health behaviors (non-compliance with medicines, smoking, alcohol or other substance use, lack of physical exercise and unhealthy diet). Addressing mental health disorders in time by providing access to appropriate services and support can help manage the underlying cardiac conditions in a more holistic manner.

The integration of neurology and psychology is a powerful combination that yields great results. In my practice, I have been recommending psychological support for my patients for quite some time and the outcomes have been consistently positive. Whether it be for migraines or dizziness, the benefits of incorporating psychotherapy within a neurology setting are vast. It is crucial for medical professionals to break the stigma surrounding mental health and to encourage patients to seek the help of psychologists when necessary. Furthermore, the divide between the brain and the mind is artificial, understanding the relationship between them is essential in treating and managing a wide range of neurological and psychological conditions.

As a Cardiologist one wishes to avouch the importance of mental health in the overall outcome of cardiac patients. The mind is strongly connected with the sympathetic nervous system. Stimulation of this would lead to high heart rate, high blood pressure, both of which can stress the heart. A heart patient is expected to avoid such upheavals. Living with a chronic cardiac disease also leads to many emotional issues. Almost 33% of the patients with chronic cardiac ailments can have some psychological symptoms . The quality of life suffers because of the mind rather than the cardiac disease. A holistic approach, which gives scientific treatment for the cardiac disease and looks after the mind well, will always give excellent results in cardiac patients.

Dr. Kinjal Goyal is a well trained, experienced and committed counselor and psychotherapist. Her soft spoken nature and politeness has won over her patients trust and confidence. She is very enthusiastic and dedicated and uses CBT to the best effect. Her online module of treatment is very quick and her diagnostic skills par excellence. I wish her all the success in her endeavor to help and guide patients suffering from psychological issues due to stress.

Orthopaedics is a field that sees an equal number of acute injuries and chronic pain situations.

After an accident or traumatic injury, PTSD is a common mental health condition in patients. It can be very distressing, hamper healing in the short term, and cause discomfort long after the wounds have healed. Psychologists best deal with this by giving patients a chance to heal holistically. I have seen them better manage pain in acute injuries and have substantial symptom relief in chronic conditions.
