The students of Class 9 of Modern High School for Girls participated in a session from our Chat with a Doctor series, titled “How Do I Handle Myself?” on Monday, 28th July 2025.
Adolescence is often described as a time of turbulence—but it is also a time of transformation. This session had been designed to address these realities—covering both physical and mental well-being, and helping students reflect on how to understand and manage the changes they experience. Dr. Madhurima Vidyarthi, Consultant Endocrinologist MRCP (London and Edinburgh), FRCP (UK), PG Diploma in Diabetes (Cardiff), Parent and proud MHS alumna (Batch of 1995) and Dr. Sanjay Garg, Senior Consultant Psychiatrist MBBS, MRC Psych (London), CCT (UK) HOD – Psychiatry, Fortis Hospitals Kolkata
Ex-Consultant – NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde, UK, Secretary – Indian Psychiatric Society (WB) and Indian Association of Private Psychiatry (WB) were the Resource Persons who with their collective experience in adolescent physical and emotional health allowed for a conversation that was not only informative but also empathetic and deeply relevant to the age group.
