An estimated 24 million Pakistanis need mental-health care, and there are fewer than 500 psychiatrists
Every day people write to Anxiety.pk with questions no one in their life will answer. We publish those answers free, in their own language, for anyone who searches for them later. We need qualified professionals to make sure those answers are right.

Qualified people, any specialty
Psychiatrists
Review answers involving medication, diagnosis, and when someone needs urgent in-person care.
Psychologists & therapists
CBT, trauma, grief, family systems. Help us explain therapy to people who have never met a therapist.
Counsellors
School, university, workplace and community counsellors who know how these questions actually arrive.
GPs & physicians
Most Pakistanis bring mental-health symptoms to a GP first. Help us answer them where they land.
Psychiatric nurses
Ward and community experience of what recovery and relapse really look like day to day.
Urdu, Punjabi, Sindhi, Pashto
We answer in the language the question was asked in. Translators and reviewers are as vital as clinicians.
Honest about the commitment
20 minutes a week
Review a handful of answers. No rota, no on-call, no obligation to respond to any particular question.
You never meet patients
Questions are anonymous and stripped of personal details. This is public health information, not a consultation.
Your name, only if you want it
Credit on answers you review, or stay anonymous. Your choice, and you can change it any time.
Nothing goes out unreviewed
Every published answer is moderated before it appears. No abuse, no personal information, no dangerous advice.
We verify credentials
We check your PMDC/PMC registration or equivalent. This protects the people asking, and protects you.
Stop whenever
No notice period, no guilt. Tell us you are done and we remove you the same day.
Tell us about yourself
We read every application personally. Expect a reply within a few days.
