Dr. Girnarkar Swapnilkiran
Experience: | 27 years |
Education: | North Maharashtra University |
Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am mostly into stress-linked health issues — both mind and body, they kinda overlap way more than people realise. I see a lot of cases like acid peptic probs, IBS flares, PCOD, mood swings during menopause, infertility (yup, male infertility too), plus thyroid ups n downs, diabetes, hypertension, those long-term kinda things. At the same time, mental health’s a huge part of my practice — I work with folks dealing with anxiety disorders, panic attacks, OCD, PTSD, phobias, depressive phases, addictions, and even behaviour struggles in kids.
My thing is the whole mind-body connection — not just treating symptoms but figuring out what's driving them. I mix psychological therapies (like CBT, mindfulness, etc) with lifestyle tweaks and meds only when they're really needed. Sometimes all someone needs is to feel understood n heard, not another pill. Each person's story is different, and I try to build the care around that, not force it the other way round. |
Achievements: | I am often called to speak at diff kinds of places—schools, engg colleges, Ayurved & Homeo institutes, even random community setups sometimes. I usually talk about mental health stuff, stress, emotional burnout or just basic wellness but like, in a way that connects to real life not just theory. A few times ppl even gave me those felicitation things, which was nice... but mostly I do it 'cause I feel people need more open spaces to talk mental health. That part matters more than any award. |
I am practicing medicine for about 25 yrs now, kinda feels weird to say that out loud sometimes, but yeah, over two decades into seeing patients and working through a wide mix of issues—chronic diabetes, thyroid mess-ups, hypertension, asthma, gut issues, joint pains, neuro stuff, and also mental health, which became a huge part of my practice later on. I started with mostly clinical diagnosis n modern medicine, but over time I saw how much more patients needed, so Ayurveda and mind-body therapies slowly blended in. Not everything fits a prescription sheet, you know? Since past 13 yrs I’ve also worked deeply in mental health & behavior therapy. Kids, teens, adults—age doesn't matter, everyone’s got their own battles. My sessions sometimes go beyond just therapy—might include CBT, gestalt, transactional analysis, or just sitting quiet and letting music shift the mood. Sometimes meds too, when it’s needed. I use a mixed kinda approach, depends on the person really... no one-size-fits-all here. What I really love though is sharing what I’ve learned—I keep doing talks, seminars, small group things. Whether it's college students dealing with burnout, or factory workers managing shift stress, or office folks stuck in deadline loops—my goal’s usually to make mental health less scary, more doable. We talk stress tools, work-life flow, better relationships, even small things like breathing right when anxiety hits. Honestly, these convos feel as important as any treatment sometimes. I believe health isn't just in labs or scans—it’s in how you sleep, think, eat, feel... all of it tangled together. And I try my best to treat with that full picture in mind.
