Psychiatry
Dr Anandhan P.
MBBS, DPM, FIPS · Consultant Psychiatrist
Dr Anandhan Panneerselvam is a consultant psychiatrist with more than 25 years of clinical experience. He studied medicine at Thanjavur Medical College and has been in private practice in Chennai since 1999.
Clinical interest
His main interest is the group of conditions often called "minor" mental illnesses: anxiety, panic, constant worry about health, and physical symptoms that are linked to stress.
He holds that these conditions are minor only in name. They do not draw attention the way a severe illness does, but they wear a person down every single day. They deserve the same careful assessment and treatment.
He also sees many adults with ADHD and autism-spectrum traits. Such people often reach a clinic late, because from the outside they look calm and capable. His E3S2D framework describes their difficulties under five headings: Energy, Executive, Emotional, Sensory-External and Somatic-Internal Dysregulation.

Every organ has a function. In the same way, the mind is the physiological function of the brain.
