An easy to read, beautiful blog. Shiv has an amazing way of making you feel you are within both his heart and his mind.

Honest and straight from the heart.

Hi Shiv, I'm really enjoying reading your posts. I especially like "They're Coming To Take Me Away! Away!". I totally resonate with the memory loss thing. It still spins me out how easily thoughts flow out of my brain these days...

Well written captivating topics.
A rare find of raw truth and self reflection.
This blog has a uniquely "human" voice, tone and quality. Feels real...must be real.

James Cleverley Said:

A blog about mental health and personal psychology, Shiv's Brain is amazingly informative to the point that if you don't know much about psychology; you will come away feeling as if you've really learned something.
The posts are packed with that personal touch that allows the reader to connect with the author, and you'll walk away feeling as if you've just had a very personal conversation with someone.

10/10!
