About The Prime State
The Prime State is a preeminent mental health organization dedicated to improving emotional health via compassionate care and therapy led by professionals. The Prime State was established by Dr. Kumar with the conviction that mental health care ought to be widely available, stigma-free, and highly individualised.
Anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, OCD, trauma, and addiction recovery are just a few of the many mental health issues that we specialise in treating. In order to help each person regain control, find balance, and lead fulfilling lives, our committed team of professionals offers evidence-based therapy that is customised to meet their specific needs.
The problem
In India, one of the most neglected medical emergencies is mental health. Millions of people suffer from disorders like anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and trauma, but they are unable to get the help they require because of stigma, lack of knowledge, and restricted access to high-quality care.
Over 100 million children and young adults in India lack proper support due to a severe shortage of mental health professionals, despite having the largest youth population in the world. Families, workplaces, and society at large are all impacted by the widening gap between those who need and receive assistance.
Mental health is a need, not a luxury. There has never been a greater need for easily accessible, professional-led, and stigma-free mental health care.
