Dr. Jyoti Kapoor Madan

Psychiatry

JMR is a method of muscle relaxant which is taught to achieve systematic relaxation in skeletal muscles. This done by a trained psychologist. Relationship issues, heartbreak, infidelity, cheating are all associated with a feeling of rejection or abandonment leading to sadness, anxiety, depression, anger and/ or frustration. Being aware that negative outcomes of relationship don't necessarily mean failure or rejection helps in overcoming the negative thoughts. Compatibility between two individuals is revealed over a period of time and in varying circumstances. Please see a psychiatrist/ psychotherapist if emotional disturbance persists.
