In her TV interview with Aaj Tak, Rhea Chakraborty, who is one of the prime accused in Sushant Singh Rajput case, told that SSR was in touch with Dr Harish Shetty for his mental health issues even before he had met her. Addressing to the same’ the psychiatrist came forward to speak about the late actor’s diagnosis to the Mumbai Police.

Dr Harish Shetty revealed to the Mumbai police it was just once in the year 2014 that the late actor has come to see him in his clinic in Andheri. He stated that SSR met him that time to discuss about his ailments.

According to the statements of the doctor, he claimed that when Sushant Singh Rajput visited him, he only suffered from insomnia and sleeplessness conditions. After examining the actor for these issues, the doctor said that there was nothing serious back then.

The statement given by the doctor reads, “In 2014, Sushant Singh Rajput visited my clinic in Andheri. He did not have any prior appointment to see me. That time the clinic was crowded and a lot of people were present inside. Sushant then told me that he couldn’t provide all the details of his ailment then and if needed he will come and see me again. He told me that he was suffering from sleeplessness and insomnia. So, I screened and examined Sushant and didn’t find any serious issues then. For sleeplessness and insomnia, I prescribed some medication and gave him a future date for an appointment.”

The doctor further stated that SSR never came back for a follow up. He also said that he would prescribe for a medicine only after confirming a few things from patients. He said that he would ask them if they are having any suicidal thoughts or fear or any kind of phobia.

“While treating or examining any patient, I ask for detailed information from them. During a primary examination, I ask them whether they have any suicidal thoughts. Whether they fear anything or have any kind of phobia. Whether they are getting proper sleep and if their appetite is normal. Only after that, as needed, I prescribe medicines to the patients. The patients are also asked to regular follow up visits. If required, I also refer them to other psychiatrists,” Dr Harish Shetty said in his statement to the police.
