🩺 Dr. Arjun Keira, consultant psychiatrist in Australia, shares a refreshingly open look at what really happens in psychiatric care — from your first appointment to building long-term trust with your doctor.

He explains the real differences between psychiatrists, psychologists, and therapists, so you can understand who to see and when. Dr. Keira also breaks down how to talk openly about side effects, manage medication with confidence, and approach treatment as a collaborative process built on honesty and communication 🤝.

Beyond medical care, he explores the emotional side of acceptance — what it means to live with a chronic condition like bipolarity and still build a fulfilling life 🌟. He also reminds us that recovery isn’t just about medication, but about considering the social and environmental factors that shape our well-being 🌱.
