Gayatri Shivdas & Nishka Mehta
Psychological well-being is indeed the need of the hour. With the world almost coming to a stand-still because of the pandemic, we have found ourselves in a situation where our mental health is at its most delicate. Pandemic or no pandemic, our mental well-being must always be our priority. At Mynd, we have created a network of psychologists and psychiatrists to provide pocket friendly, yet quality therapy services. However, ‘pocket friendly’ means different things for different people. Also, we do not operate as an emergency helpline yet. While we can connect you to a therapist as soon as we can, our therapists do work within a set time frame for the day, and subsequently, the week. To make up for times like these where your emergency needs might not be met by Mynd, we have curated a guide of helplines and emergency contacts who are flexible and available at an immediate notice.
Disclaimer — Mynd is in no way responsible for or associated with these organisations or helplines.
