Dr. Dhruv Thakkar - Psychiatrist

Some conferences you attend. Some, you absorb.

Young Psychiatrists’ Summit (YP Summit), Goa brought together the brightest young psychiatrists in India — and I made sure to soak in every scientific session, every debate, every corridor conversation.

Got the chance to share my views, question, discuss, and walk away with new perspectives. That’s the real ROI of a good conference.

Investing in learning is the best investment a clinician can make.

Honored to speak at DA MUN 2026 as a Guest of Honour.

Every conversation about mental health has the power to create awareness, reduce stigma, and inspire change. Grateful for the opportunity to interact with such passionate young minds.

It was a privilege to address the delegates and share insights on mental health, resilience, and emotional well-being. The curiosity, enthusiasm, and thoughtful questions from the students made this experience truly memorable.

Thank you, DA MUN, for having me

Grateful to wish a very happy birthday to Dr. Nilesh Shah Sir.. A true gem in psychiatry.
Humble, warm, empathetic, always smiling, and endlessly approachable.
His practical, humorous teaching made psychiatry come alive, and what he taught has stayed with me and continues to guide my practice every day.
India is lucky to have such a teacher. I’m lucky to have learned from him.
And yes… still miss those panipuri moments. 😊🙏

Grateful to share that my name has now found a place in the India Book of Records.
It’s a small milestone, but it means a lot because it represents the collective effort of so many voices working towards creating awareness around mental health.

For me, recognitions are never the destination — they’re just reminders to keep walking the path with more sincerity. 🌱

Here’s to learning, growing, and contributing in whatever ways we can.

✨ What a joy it was to spend an evening at the Townhall, Gandhinagar, with the bright students of IIIT-V and their parents, exploring the theme of Mind Management.

We laughed at memes, reflected on stories, and had honest conversations about:
💡 Stress & resilience
💡 Mental hygiene
💡 Overthinking & failure
💡 Building relationships & handling academic pressure

The hall was full, the energy was high, and the feedback warmed my heart. 🙏

If even one student walked out with a lighter mind and a stronger heart, the session was worth it. 🌱

Here’s to making mental health simple, relatable, and powerful.

From the newsroom to your living room 🗞️🧠
Honored to be a guest on VTV News – Positive Mind, where we spoke openly about depression, overthinking, insecurities, comparison, peer pressure, FOMO, psychiatric medications, and the power of social learning.
Grateful for the opportunity to answer live audience questions and spread mental health awareness on such a powerful platform.
Because mental health conversations belong everywhere — in clinics, in homes, and yes, even on national television.
