Official Statement of Professional IndependenceI would like to express my gratitude to RAH @Rahul K Maharaj (MrTraumaTalks) for the collaboration during our time on #MentalHealthBytes. RAH provided a valuable platform for trauma-informed discussion; the original segment featured a psychiatrist delivering clinically evidence-based information alongside a passionate and empathetic mental health advocate.However, I want to clarify that I am no longer an associate of the Mental Health Bytes production. As of February 2026, Tash Reddy has taken over the role I previously held.I hold no responsibility for the current direction, content, or clinical credibility of the show. The program is now being run by its mental health champion and Tash Reddy as a separate entity.I am not affiliated with Dr. Tash Reddy . My work as a Psychiatrist and Clinical Lead for the HealCycle is strictly independent. I wish the current team well.Dr. Aninda SidhanaMD (Psychiatry)
