Honest, stigma-free guides — what these conditions really are, how to cope, how to help someone you love, and how to find real support in Pakistan. None of this is medical advice; it's a place to start.
Every genuinely free route to mental-health support in Pakistan: our own team, free sessions with listed professionals, government psychiatry OPDs and university clinics — what each one is good for, and what private sessions cost when free is not available.
A real session with an independent professional, online, at no cost. How to book one, what the half hour is like, what happens if it is cancelled, and what to do when every slot has gone.
Rs 1,500 to Rs 5,000 a session among the professionals listed here, and why the range is that wide. What a government OPD costs, what insurance usually excludes, and every route that costs nothing at all.
Three ways to talk to somebody here, none of them ranked: our team at any hour, a free session with an independent professional, or a private session at their fee. When each one is right, and the three questions to ask at the end of a first session.
