Indspire Me’s Story

Indspire Me: A Mental Health & Psychology Portal

I am Akanksha Sharma and I started Indspire Me in 2016.

Indspire Me is a portal dedicated to psychology and mental health. It started out as a magazine that was sharing motivational stories, articles and interviews from all over India. Some of the best writing on Mental Health, Nutrition, Books, Lifestyle & Social Impact was published here.

Now, in 2020, both I and the blog have a focussed direction – Psychology & Mental Health.

My fascination with Psychology started at the age of 14, and was cemented further when I underwent a slipped disc injury at the age of 25. Being on bed rest for seven months does force you to reflect about life a lot! My past studies have been in the fields of Journalism and International Relations and I have worked in different organizations in India & Singapore.

Some time ago, I started studying for my M.Sc. in Psychology officially from the University of Madras. I also completed Diplomas in Psychology Counselling & Relationship Counselling.

Current Status of Mental Health in India

If you’d like to read my opinion on the current status of mental health in India, read my article on Indrastra.

One of my major areas of interest with regards to Psychology is Decision Making & Decision Making Anxiety. I first got the idea for writing a book on Decision Making when I received a tremendous response to the articles I was writing on LinkedIn, related to decision making. People could really relate to the observations that I was posting about Decision Making Anxiety. I started receiving hundreds of messages from individuals who were amazed at how perfectly I was describing their predicament.

Encouraged by this response, slowly I started writing about other important areas related to decision making and got the idea of making the information comprehensive and cohesive, in the form of an e-book called ‘Stop Making Bad Decisions’.
