Lately, I’ve been spending a lot of time alone, and I’m starting to wonder if it's unhealthy to be alone for a long time. I enjoy my own company and it feels peaceful, but I don’t want it to negatively impact my mental health or social life. How much alone time is too much, and when does it start becoming unhealthy? Any advice or personal experiences would really help.

Hello Dear. I'm a Consultant Psychologist and Sexual Health Expert. If you are introvert, that might be your way of recharging. It's okay as long as it doesn't affect you emotionally. I would say, atleast having a support system and spending time with them once a week is important. And it would also be better if you go out for walk or gym or grocery store for 30 mins a day even by yourself is okay. But that's good for your mental health.

Hi, everyone, I’m Yogita Sapra, a psychologist! I’m thrilled to be here with all of you today. My journey to becoming a psychologist started when I was young and witnessed the struggles my family faced with mental health challenges. One defining moment for me was when a close family member went through a difficult time and struggled to find the right support. I saw firsthand how much of an impact understanding and compassionate care could make. That experience ignited my passion for psychology and inspired me to pursue a career where I could help others navigate their own mental health journeys. Through years of study and practice, I’ve learned how powerful our minds are in shaping our overall well-being, and I’m excited to share tools and strategies that can help you lead a more balanced, fulfilling life.more

Hello, I'm Ananya Singh, a dedicated psychology expert with over 2 years of experience in the field. My passion lies in helping individuals navigate through various life challenges and enhancing their mental well-being. Over the past two years, I have had the privilege of working extensively with adolescents, adults, and middle-aged adults. Mental health has often been neglected, and one of my primary motivations for becoming a psychologist. I love helping people and understanding their problems. I have been studying psychology for the past 7 years, and I have never been as passionate about anything else as I am about psychology. As I delved deeper into the field, I recognized that I, too, had my own mental health challenges, including self-esteem and anxiety issues. Before I started counseling others, I sought therapy myself and worked through my personal struggles, which reinforced my commitment to helping others. My expertise covers a wide range of issues, including relationship problems, breakups, marital conflicts, body image concerns in women, self-esteem issues, comparisons with the unrealistic standards set by social media, spouse-related issues, and the pervasive struggles with anxiety and depression, particularly among young women. My approach is empathetic and tailored to each individual's needs, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for healing and growth. In my practice, I have conducted over 200 hours of counseling sessions, predominantly with women of all ages, helping them overcome their struggles and achieve a balanced mental state. Whether you're dealing with personal issues, emotional distress, or seeking guidance for better mental health, I am here to assist you on your journey to well-being. I look forward to connecting with you and providing the support you need to thrive.more
