I have recently interned at a centre for children with special needs, Sensitivity Early Intervention. Therein, I received great understanding of psychological disorders in children, such as ADHD, Autism, etc. Furthermore, I have also interned at Central Jail, Tihar. There I worked as a psychologist in association with the psychiatric department. There I gained immense knowledge about criminal psychology as well as severe psychological disorders such as mania, schizophrenia, OCD, etc. To add to this experience, I am also associated with Psy-Fi: For a Healthy Mind, which is an organization founded and led by a Counseling psychologist, Ms Jigyasa Tandon. This organization majorly works on educating and creating awareness among people regarding mental health and related issues.
