Therapists and Support Groups for Chronic Illness

Living with chronic illness can be an isolating and overwhelming experience. Whether you’re navigating a recent diagnosis or have been managing symptoms for years, the emotional impact of chronic illness is just as real as the physical symptoms. At TheMindClan.com, we’ve built a network of peer-reviewed therapists and carefully curated support groups across India who understand that chronic illness affects every aspect of life - from relationships and work to identity and mental health.

Every therapist in our chronic illness network has been peer-reviewed and selected through recommendations from existing network members. This community-driven approach means they’ve been validated by professionals who understand that chronic illness requires a holistic approach that honors both your physical and emotional experiences.
