When your psychologists don’t sit in an arm chair and solve problems. As we celebrate world mental health day, I saw a lot of pictures of therapists sitting on a couch and offering services. But my team at Insighte has it a lot different. We work where the child is living in. They walk into schools where they’re not always recognized as mental health professionals. They’re asked to handle things they weren’t trained for. They fight for that one child who needs inclusion, often while facing physical or emotional challenges like being scratched or ignored. They walk into homes and support families and children through their interventions. Often navigating Bangalore traffic and clients cancelling last minute. But through these battles, they develop empathy, resilience, and a deep passion for the profession. My vision for our 195+ women strong team? To become the fiercest advocates for children and their rights—whether in schools or homes. Let’s also take a moment to acknowledge the families we support who also become our partners in this journey. Parents who jump through endless hoops, facing caregiver burnout, as they help their neurodivergent children navigate a world that doesn’t always understand them. And of course, the children. The ones who feel like they don’t belong. The ones who struggle to fit in. The ones who face a world that doesn’t know how to support them or sees their strengths and wonder why their schedules are so packed as compared to other kids. On this World Mental Health Day, let’s thank these brave children, their families, and the professionals who keep pushing for a more inclusive world. (They make the magic happen—one smile, one tantrum at a time.)

In the demanding world of medical education, where excellence is the norm and any perception of "weakness" is met with stigma, a culture of silence often surrounds mental health and the stigma around depression and other mental health challenges is still pervasive. It's time to break the silence and create spaces where we can address these issues with compassion, not judgment. Mental health deserves the same care and attention as physical health—especially for those training to care for others.
