Care in Tamil

Many people find it easier to describe low mood, worry or sleep problems in the language they think in. Mindly offers consultations in Tamil and English, among 11 languages across the service. Tell us at booking that you want Tamil and we will try to match you with a clinician who speaks it.

Care that fits a Chennai day

Appointments are by video, so you can meet from home, from a quiet room at work, or between classes. You need a phone or laptop and a stable internet connection. A first consultation is a conversation: the psychiatrist listens, asks about your history and daily life, and explains what they find.

Students and exam pressure. The Supreme Court's July 2025 guidelines on student mental health single out coaching hubs, naming Chennai among them, and call for continuous psychological support and career counselling. If you or your child is under exam pressure, Mindly offers online sessions for students, with a parent present if the student wishes. See the students page.

Evidence for the need

In the National Mental Health Survey of India (2015-16), Tamil Nadu was one of 12 states surveyed. Across those states, about 10.5% of adults had a current mental disorder (including alcohol use disorders). Figures for Chennai alone are not available.

How Mindly care is different

  • A second opinion built in

    Our Chief Medical Officer, a psychiatrist with an MD from NIMHANS, gives a second opinion on every patient's case, so you do not have to look for one.

  • Diagnosis comes first

    We put our attention on the most accurate diagnosis, because the right plan can only be built on it.

  • Shaped around you

    Your plan reflects your language, family and culture, not a one-size-fits-all template.

  • Tracked as you recover

    We follow how you feel and how you are improving, and your clinical team adjusts treatment as you go.

Who you may meet

After your pre-consultation call, we allot the clinician who fits your needs. Meet all our clinicians.
