Online psychiatrist for people in Bhubaneswar

Languages we can offer

Odia is the language most people in Bhubaneswar use at home, and Dr. Dhritiman Das lists Odia on his profile alongside English, Hindi, Bengali and Assamese. He is the Odia-speaking psychiatrist on our team and appears below with Dr. Barkha Chikara, who consults in Hindi and English. Because only one psychiatrist currently lists Odia, we cannot promise a particular time before your free call. We will tell you plainly what his availability is, and if it does not suit you, we will explain the alternatives. Many people in Bhubaneswar also use Hindi and English comfortably, and you can mix languages in the same consultation.

Living and working in Bhubaneswar

• A city of students and newcomers. Bhubaneswar draws young people from across Odisha and beyond for study and work, and many live in hostels or rented rooms far from their families. Homesickness, sleep trouble, exam pressure and loneliness are common reasons for seeking help. A video consultation can be done from your room, and you can continue when you are back home.
• Families across towns and districts. Many families in Odisha are spread across towns, with a parent in one district and a child working in the capital or another city. With your agreement, a relative elsewhere can join part of the call by video, so the same explanation in Odia reaches everyone who helps with care.
• After a disaster. People on the Odisha coast know the effects of cyclones and floods. Fear, sleeplessness, anger and numbness after such events are common and can last, and they are worth talking about. A psychiatrist can assess whether trauma or depression is part of the picture and discuss support.

Odia-speaking psychiatric care without the long journey

Bhubaneswar draws students and professionals from across Odisha, and families often live in towns far from the capital. Video consultations let a relative in another district join the call, so the same explanation in Odia reaches everyone involved in care. Dr. Dhritiman Das lists Odia; Dr. Barkha Chikara consults in Hindi and English. If tests are needed, they can be done at a laboratory in Bhubaneswar and shared on screen. Follow-ups are short, and you can keep them even when you travel.

If you are visiting Bhubaneswar for study or work and your family lives in another district, tell us, so that a relative can join a later call. Keep a note of how you are sleeping and eating, and bring the names of medicines you take. Review dates can be fixed around your timetable, and shorter calls are enough once the plan is settled.

How an Odia, Hindi or English consultation works

Our team first phones you, at no cost, to hear what is wrong and which language you would like to use: Odia, Hindi or English. After that a psychiatrist is chosen and you meet by video. The doctor will ask about your mood, rest, appetite, routine and health history, and then tell you what they believe the problem is, without jargon. Treatment could be medication, therapy or both. Because of the 2020 telemedicine guidelines, the doctor will also say if any proposed medicine requires an examination in person before it can be prescribed.

Medicines, follow-ups and local care

Reports from a Bhubaneswar laboratory, if tests are advised, can be shown to the doctor on screen. Keep any other doctor you see informed about every medicine you take. The first weeks usually bring shorter, more frequent reviews, which spread out as things settle. Where a hospital stay or an in-person specialist is the right step, your psychiatrist will say so plainly and help line it up. Illnesses like bipolar disorder or psychosis call for reviews that do not lapse.
