PTSD, Military Stress, and Workplace Pressure — Sindhia Understands

Groton carries a specific kind of occupational stress — the kind that doesn't always look like traditional mental health symptoms from the outside, but accumulates over time. Sindhia's approach starts with a full psychiatric evaluation — not a screening tool you fill out in five minutes. She asks about your work, your history, your sleep, your relationships. Then she builds a plan that actually fits your situation, whether that's medication, supportive therapy, or both. And she'll tell you straight what she thinks — no ambiguity, no vague reassurances.
