About Self Esteem Problems

Self-esteem problems addressed in psychiatry involve a comprehensive therapeutic approach to help individuals develop a healthier, more realistic, and positive self-view. This is not a single procedure but a treatment process that may include psychotherapy (such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or psychodynamic therapy), counseling, and sometimes medication management for co-occurring conditions like depression or anxiety. The goal is to identify and challenge negative core beliefs, improve coping skills, and build resilience. Treatment is highly personalized, focusing on the root causes of low self-worth, which may stem from past experiences, societal pressures, or mental health disorders. A psychiatrist provides expert diagnosis and a structured plan to foster lasting emotional well-being and improved life functioning.

PATIENT REVIEW

Ayaan Chopra, a 28-year-old software engineer...

Ayaan Chopra, a 28-year-old software engineer from Bangalore, grew up in a high-achieving family where academic and career success were paramount. Despite a prestigious job, he felt like an imposter. His symptoms included persistent self-doubt, avoiding promotions for fear of exposure, social withdrawal, and constant comparison to peers on social media. His history included no prior mental health treatment but years of internal pressure. His general physician, noting signs of anxiety, recommended a psychiatric evaluation. The psychiatrist diagnosed persistent low self-esteem and recommended Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focused on self-compassion and challenging core beliefs. The treatment experience was challenging; Ayaan initially struggled to identify positive qualities. Over 12 weekly sessions, he learned to recognize his 'all-or-nothing' thinking and practiced self-affirmation. His post-procedure recovery outcome was positive: he applied for and secured a team lead position, began reconnecting with friends, and significantly reduced his social media comparison. Emotionally, his journey moved from a state of chronic anxiety and self-loathing, feeling 'never good enough,' to one of cautious self-acceptance. He now describes feeling 'lighter' and more capable of handling setbacks without his entire self-worth crumbling.
