CASE STUDIES
MOOD SWINGS/ BIPOLAR
A 13-year-old child exhibiting severe mood swings was initially suspected to have bipolar disorder. However, through consistent sessions with both the child and the parents, Dr. Preeti uncovered the true underlying cause—constant comparisons with the elder sibling had resulted in frustration, an inferiority complex, and aggression. With a structured approach involving counselling sessions, CBT therapy, and guidance for both the parents and the sibling, the child showed remarkable improvement. Over seven months of online sessions, the child regained emotional stability and confidence. Additionally, the family was provided with a six-month DIY maintenance plan to ensure long-term emotional independence.

ANXIETY IN A CHILD
A 12-year-old child began experiencing severe anxiety, particularly in social settings such as school presentations and group activities. Initially, the parents mistook this behavior for shyness, but over time, the child developed avoidance tendencies, frequent stomach aches, and restlessness. Through a series of online consultations, Dr. Preeti identified the root cause—performance anxiety and fear of negative evaluation, further reinforced by subtle parental pressure for academic excellence.
With structured counselling, relaxation techniques, CBT-based interventions, and gradual exposure exercises, the child began regaining confidence.

Using a blended approach of speech therapy techniques, relaxation training, and confidence-building exercises, steady progress was achieved. Parents were counselled to foster a supportive and non-judgmental communication environment.
