NEW DELHI (India CSR): Akola – With over 44 years of clinical experience, Dr Deepak Kelkar, psychiatrist and sexologist, is reaffirming his commitment to advancing connected fields of sexual health, mental wellness, stress-anxiety-depression care and addiction recovery in India.
Bridging Mental Health and Sexual Wellness
As the founder of Kelkar Hospital Pvt. Ltd., Sanmitra Manas Hospital and City Hospital & Critical Care Centre in Akola, Dr Kelkar has guided thousands of individuals and married couples through issues including erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, low libido, infertility-related sexual stress, chronic stress, anxiety, depression and substance-dependency. His dual-expertise in psychiatry and sexology positions him at the forefront of integrated care in Central India.
In an era where sexual dysfunction, marital discord, rising anxiety and depression are increasingly widespread in urban and rural India alike, Dr. Kelkar emphasises a holistic, evidence-based and non-judgmental approach that connects mind and body, and science and sensitivity. He states:
“Sexual health is not a luxury. Mental wellbeing is not a luxury. Together they form the foundation of a peaceful, meaningful life.”
According to Dr Kelkar, treating sexual health in isolation from mental health—or vice-versa—often leads to incomplete healing. His methodology incorporates psychiatric tools, hypnotherapy, NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and de-addiction therapies, making him a rare specialist in the overlapping domains of sexology and mental health.
Key Clinical and Educational Focus Areas
- Sexual medicine & couples’ counselling – treatment of erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, low libido, sexual stress related to infertility, intimacy issues and marital communication.
- Psychiatric care – treatment of depression, anxiety disorders, OCD, phobias, schizophrenia, stress-related illnesses and substance dependence.
- Therapeutic techniques – utilisation of hypnotherapy, NLP, psychotherapy, modern psychiatric interventions, de-addiction programmes and resilience training.
- Awareness & stigma-reduction – educational initiatives aimed at couples, families and communities to promote respectful intimacy, emotional communication, trauma healing and mental-sexual wellness literacy.
