Case Stories with Dr. Aju: Screen Time & Kids' Mental Health
I recently saw a 9-year-old girl who became aggressive with her family every time the smartphone was taken away. She was calm only when playing games or chatting online, but irritable and disconnected otherwise. Her moods were so disturbed that I first treated the underlying mood disorder, then worked with her to build healthier screen habits. Within weeks, she became calmer, started communicating with her family again, and even began using her screen time responsibly. This story is a reminder: excessive screen use can deeply affect a child’s emotions, behaviour, and relationships. But with the right support, balance is possible — and kids can thrive again. 💬 What strategies work in your family to manage screen time?

Dr Aju Abraham Case Story: Dealing with Burnout - retrieve Mind Poly Clinic
Case Story: Dealing with Burnout A 41-year-old general manager came to me exhausted and in tears. He dreaded going to work, couldn’t sleep, and feared losing everything he had worked so hard for. After years of delivering under immense pressure, burnout and anxiety finally caught up with him. We treated his anxiety and built healthier coping strategies. Within weeks, his hope and confidence returned. Today, he manages work and family life with balance and strength. This story is a reminder: it’s not the work itself that breaks us — it’s how we deal with it. And there is always a way forward, even in desperate situations. 💬 Have you ever experienced burnout?

Motivational Quote of the Day
Too often, people believe that asking for help makes them look weak. In truth, reaching out shows strength, courage, and self-awareness. Support — whether from friends, family, or a mental health professional — is what allows us to grow, heal, and move forward. As Barack Obama once said: “Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of strength.” When you choose to speak up, you’re choosing recovery, resilience, and connection. Remember, nobody has to walk their journey alone. #RetrieveMindPolyClinic #HealingMindsTransformingLives #PsychologyConsultation #PsychiatryConsultation #CBT #CognitiveBehavioralTherapy #DrAjuAbraham #AboutOurFounder #MentalHealth #PremiumMentalHealthClinicDubai #RetrieveMind #RMPC #EndTheStigma #StrongTogether #MentalWellness #RetrieveMind
