Carolina Psychiatry: Breaking the Mental Health Stigma in Upstate South Carolina

Mental health should never be a secret, a shame, or a struggle faced alone. At Carolina Psychiatry, doing business as Taral Sharma MD PC, we are proud to be the leading voice in breaking mental health stigma across Anderson, Greenville, Seneca, and Spartanburg.

As the most trusted psychiatry clinic in the region, our mission goes beyond treatment—we’re here to transform how mental health is viewed, discussed, and supported throughout South Carolina.

Why Mental Health Stigma Still Exists

Despite growing awareness, many people still hesitate to seek help for depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, or other mental health conditions due to stigma. Misunderstandings, cultural taboos, fear of judgment, or misinformation can lead to:

• Delayed treatment

• Increased suffering

• Isolation and shame

• Worsening symptoms

• Higher risk of crisis

At Carolina Psychiatry, we believe every person deserves access to compassionate, nonjudgmental care—no matter their diagnosis, background, or story.
