MHAT – making a difference in peoples lives. Support them!
The Mental Health Action Trust (MHAT) is a Not-for-Profit organisation that aims to contribute to improved mental health care in India by integrating Psychiatry with Medicine. MHAT aims to deliver sustainable and integrated psychosocial care through medical networks involving volunteers in the community.
I came to know about them through a friend, Praveen, who is a mind reading specialist (http://praveenmentalist.com/). He is doing a Mind Reading show for them to raise funds for the mentally challenged people back in India. He wanted me to design a flyer for them (see below).
About the program
MHAT has announced a series of fund-raising events in the United Arab Emirates and the State of Qatar in April.
There will be two events in the UAE titled the ‘Magic and Mind’. These will be presented by Mr Praveen Arumughan, the famous Dubai based Mentalist and Magician. There will also be the premieres of a documentary on MHAT and a presentation by Dr Manoj Kumar.

Hi, I just mailed Mr. Manoj and here is his reply.
Many thanks, Ravoof.
My suggestion is that it will be inappropriate to give an opinion on a personal matter of a clinical nature which would normally require a face to face consultation. They will need to consult a Psychiatrist locally.
Warm regards

So please kindly consult another Psychiatrist. You can mail my friend Dr. Balan Vijay Kumar, a Psychiatrist, and tell him your problems. He may be able to guide you. Give my reference.
