Dr. Snehal Thamke
Psychiatrist — Women’s Mental Health & Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
ABOUT YOUR DOCTOR
Treatment that starts with understanding the person.
I am a psychiatrist with a special interest in women’s mental health and child and adolescent psychiatry. My work involves helping individuals navigate a wide range of emotional, behavioural and psychiatric concerns at different stages of life. To me, psychiatry is not simply about diagnosing an illness or prescribing medication — it is about understanding the person, their experiences, relationships and circumstances, and how these shape their mental well-being.
My approach begins with listening without judgement and understanding each patient’s concerns, symptoms and individual needs. I believe that seeking mental health support should never be associated with shame or stigma. I aim to create a space where patients feel comfortable speaking openly, understand what they are experiencing, and actively participate in decisions about their treatment.
With close to a decade of experience after completing my MD in Psychiatry, my clinical practice includes the assessment and management of mood disorders, anxiety, OCD, stress-related difficulties, sleep concerns, addiction-related problems and other psychiatric conditions. I have a particular interest in women’s mental health and child and adolescent psychiatry, with an emphasis on personalised, evidence-based care that treats the person, not just the diagnosis.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common questions about women’s mental health.
How is Postpartum Depression (PPD) different from the ‘Baby Blues’?
The ‘baby blues’ involve mild mood swings, anxiety, and tearfulness in the first 1 to 2 weeks post-delivery and resolve on their own. Postpartum Depression is more severe, lasts longer, and significantly impairs a mother’s daily functioning, requiring professional psychiatric and psychological care.
Is it safe to take psychiatric medication during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Many psychiatric medications are considered safe during pregnancy and lactation when carefully managed. A reproductive psychiatrist evaluates the risk-benefit ratio for both mother and child to create a tailored, safe medical plan.
What is Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)?
PMDD is a severe, debilitating form of PMS causing severe mood swings, depression, irritability, and anxiety during the week or two before menstruation. It is a treatable medical condition involving targeted therapies and medication.
How do perimenopause and menopause affect mental health?
Fluctuating estrogen levels can disrupt brain chemistry, leading to anxiety, depressive symptoms, sleep disturbances, and memory difficulties. Psychiatric support helps stabilize these symptoms alongside hormonal or medical care.
When should young women seek therapy for emotional distress?
If feelings of anxiety, low self-esteem, sadness, or stress begin interfering with school, relationships, sleep, or daily routines, seeking guidance early helps establish healthy coping strategies for life.
