A racing heartbeat. Sudden breathlessness. Sweaty palms. A feeling that something terrible is about to happen. For many young Indians, this is not an occasional moment of stress. It is becoming a regular part of life. Across colleges, offices, metros, coaching centres, and even social gatherings, increasing numbers of young people are silently dealing with panic attacks and anxiety disorders. Yet most never talk about it openly. Many do not even realise what they are experiencing. Mental health experts say panic attacks are rising because modern life has become emotionally exhausting. Constant pressure to perform, unstable careers, academic competition, financial…

A powerful story of love, sacrifice, and medical excellence has emerged from NewEra Hospital in Navi Mumbai, where a woman donated a major portion of her liver to save the life of her critically ill husband. The successful surgery has not only given a 48-year-old auto-rickshaw driver a new lease on life but has also highlighted the importance of organ donation and advanced medical care in India. Mukesh Ramchandra Tandel had been battling severe liver cirrhosis for a long time. Over the months, his condition worsened significantly, leaving him physically weak and dependent on others even for routine activities. According…

A box pops up on the screen, you take a picture of your doctor’s slip, and within minutes the order is confirmed. The process feels routine. But behind this simple step lies a serious and unresolved regulatory question: is anyone actually checking that prescription carefully? This is at the heart of one of the concerns raised…

There’s a reason your deepest fears surface only when the world goes quiet. It always starts the same way. You wake up. The room is dark. The house is completely still. And within seconds, before you’ve even checked the time, something heavy settles into your chest. A conversation you handled badly three weeks ago. A bill you haven’t paid. A friendship that’s been quietly falling apart. Your career. Your health. That one thing you said at a party in 2019 that nobody else remembers but you absolutely cannot forget. You look at your phone. 3:14am. Of course it is. There’s…

Skin concerns such as acne, pigmentation, hair fall and early ageing are often treated as isolated cosmetic issues. However, a growing shift in medical thinking suggests that these visible problems may actually be signs of deeper metabolic and internal imbalances. Among those leading this change is Dr. Anoop Bhagat, a Functional and Aesthetic Medicine expert with more than three decades of clinical experience. He is advocating a move away from symptom-based dermatology towards a more comprehensive, root-cause approach. In recent years, there has been a noticeable rise in hormonal disorders, lifestyle-related diseases and stress-linked conditions. As a result, more patients…

Hospitals around the world are buying some of the most advanced AI ever built for medicine. Much of it is sitting unused. This is not a technology problem. It is a human one. Imagine a hospital that spends millions deploying an AI system capable of spotting early signs of disease, flagging dangerous drug combinations, and predicting which patients are most at risk. The system goes live. The doctors keep working the way they always have. The AI sits in a corner of the screen, largely ignored. Six months later, someone in management asks whether the investment was worth it. Nobody…
