ABOUT MIND VRIKSHA
Mind Vriksha (formerly The Mind Tree) is a thought initiated by Dr Rohit Garg, where a group of psychiatrists and psychologists work on mental health of people. We at Mind Vriksha want to spread awareness about the human brain, which is beautiful and complicated at the same time. In our society a person with a mental health problem is often termed insane or crazy and mostly ignored and looked down by the society, when it comes to addiction many people have a misconception that being dependent on alcohol, drugs, sex, tobacco and gambling is an individual’s conscience choice. It is not true at all, dependency or substance abuse like all diseases when not treated gets worse with time, and also lead to various mental health issue and problems, which if not treated may turn to serious disorders.
Why Us?
This organisation headed by Dr Rohit Garg, MD (Psychiatry) works closely with all sections of the society and helps each individual connect with their inner self. A person needing help is given sufficient time in order to understand their life and problems, the next step is to start their healing process and final stage is to develop them into an individual who can be an asset to the society. This organisation has dealt with most complicated cases successfully because of our team, which includes young and energetic people alongside richly experienced and vastly knowledgeable doctors. For us here at Mind Vriksha a sick person is an opportunity to heal a suffering soul and rejuvenate them.
Vision
Healthy mind leads to healthy society and growth of any country depends on the health of the people of that country. Our vision is to have a chain of psychiatry clinics across the country catering to mental health problems like Depression, Anxiety and Addiction. We wish to spread awareness and knowledge about mental health problems like Depression and Anxiety, where seeking help from a Psychiatrist is no more a stigma.
