About Dr. Chitrakshee

QuietMind is founded by Dr. Chitrakshee, MD (Psychiatry). She is a psychiatrist trained in India’s top government medical institutions, where psychiatry is practiced with depth, volume, and diagnostic responsibility not curated case mixes. Her work focuses on helping high-functioning adults understand and regulate their mind, without over-medicalising or oversimplifying what they are experiencing.

Why Her Training Matters

Psychiatry practiced in government medical colleges is fundamentally different from psychiatry practiced in low-volume private settings.

Dr. Chitrakshee completed her MBBS (Rabindra Nath Tagore Medical College, Udaipur) and MD in Psychiatry (Institute of Mental Health & Hospital) through government medical colleges, where she trained across:

  • Outpatient psychiatry
  • Inpatient psychiatry
  • Emergency psychiatry
  • Consultation–liaison psychiatry
  • Child and adolescent psychiatry
  • Addiction psychiatry

Advanced Training And National Institutes

Dr. Chitrakshee has completed an advanced observership in De-addiction Psychiatry at NIMHANS, Bangalore, one of India’s most respected institutions for mental health and neurosciences.

This exposure deepened her understanding of:

  • Substance use as a regulation strategy
  • The neurobiology of dependence
  • Ethical, non punitive approaches to treatment
  • When medication helps and when it does not

Her training also includes focused work in neuro modulatory aspects of psychiatry and modern psychiatric interventions.

Academic And Research Orientation

Dr. Chitrakshee maintains a strong academic foundation alongside clinical work.

She has authored and co-authored peer reviewed research published in Indian and international psychiatry journals, with work spanning:

This academic grounding ensures that her practice remains evidence-based, not opinion-led.

  • Post-COVID Mental health – European Journal of Molecular and Clinical Medicine
  • Violence in Psychiatry- Indian Journal of Clinical Psychiatry
  • Cultural Psychiatry – MINDS Newsletter
  • Clozapine efficacy in Schizophrenia Annals of Indian Psychiatry
  • MECT for augmentation in TRS – Indian Journal of Health Sciences and BioMedical Research KLEU
  • RTMS for negative symptoms in schizophrenia – Indian Journal of Private Psychiatry

 

Who She Works Best With

Dr. Chitrakshee works primarily with individuals who are:

  • High functioning and intellectually capable
  • Outwardly stable but internally strained
  • Confused about whether they are dealing with anxiety, ADHD, burnout, or overlap
  • Reluctant to accept generic explanations
  • Open to medical clarity, including medication if it truly helps

Her patients often include:

  • Founders and senior professionals
  • Consultants and operators
  • Doctors and healthcare professionals
  • High achieving women
  • Students and early career adults with strong potential

She does not practice crisis psychiatry or emergency mental health care.

Her Philosophy Of Psychiatry

Dr. Chitrakshee believes psychiatry should:

  • Explain what is happening, not just label it
  • Reduce mental effort, not dull personality
  • Use medication thoughtfully, not reflexively
  • Respect intelligence and autonomy
  • Avoid creating dependency where clarity would suffice

She is deliberate about what she treats and equally deliberate about what she refuses to do.

QuietMind exists because too many high functioning people are told to cope, adapt, or push through without anyone explaining why their mind feels the way it does.

QuietMind focuses on high functioning adults. Severe psychiatric conditions requiring inpatient care are referred appropriately to specialised facilities.

Government medical colleges provide exposure to high volume, unfiltered, complex psychiatric cases. This builds pattern recognition, diagnostic rigour, and treatment restraint that cannot be replicated in curated private practice settings.

QuietMind is not built around availability. It is built around fit.
