There is a lot of taboos associated with mental health in this country and visits to the psychologist are perceived with much suspicion and misunderstanding. However in our fast paced modern life there are many instances when stress effects our mental health and it reaches a point where help is needed. Effective living offers psychological as well as psychiatric help(for more serious cases). They work with large groups, for example in a corporate setting as well as offer individual counselling. They also offer child psychology consultation and therapy. My experience here was with Joel Low, a clinical psychologist who helped me through a particularly time in my life when I was struggling with tough decisions. So if you are facing any depression, anxiety, grieving over a loss or just going through a dark period in life, do consider getting help here. My advice is to ignore anyone who calls you ‘mad’ or ‘weak’ for being brave enough to get help,
