Scholastic growth greatly serves the holistic growth of a child. But those who fail to achieve such benchmarks are severely misunderstood by our society. Mental retardation is such a medical condition where it slows down one’s ability to learn new things due to below average intelligence quotient. For instance, Rahul was diagnosed with severe mental retardation in his early childhood with intelligence quotient as low as 40 percent. On further deterioration of his condition, Rahul consulted Dr. Reghunath Parakkal, Consultant & Mental Health Counseller, Palakkad Counselling. Post session, Dr. Reghunath suggested him certain counselling and mind exercises. Within a span of just three months, the therapy enhanced his cognition and improved his behavioural skills. His better performance skills fetched him excellent grade points in his board exams, and now, Rahul plans to peruse his degree course in music.

Like Rahul, thousands of people successfully overcame their health condition under the able hands of Dr. Reghunath, who established counselling services from the grass root level in the city of Palakkad and has organised training programs for stress management, time management, motivational training and de-addiction. Dr. Reghunath conducted about 14,000+ mass counselling classes in the schools, colleges and residential associations.
