Why she writes these guides

She writes the ManoVigyani guides to serve two readers at once: the person quietly searching for answers about what they''re feeling, and the professional who needs a rigorous, India-contextual reference for assessment and treatment.

These guides are educational and do not replace individual assessment or treatment. Where they cite prevalence or treatment-effectiveness figures, those are being matched to primary sources (WHO, NMHS, peer-reviewed journals) and cited on the page — work still in progress.
