How online care works from Qatar
All three of our consultant psychiatrists see patients online by private video call, in Nepali or English, from anywhere in the world. You do not need to be in Nepal, and you do not need a referral.
- Message or call us on WhatsApp or 9714556408. Say which country you are in, your preferred language, and briefly what is troubling you.
- Choose a time in your own time zone. Tell us your shifts, classes or days off and we offer the closest slot we have.
- Get a private video link and join from a phone, tablet or computer, ideally in a quiet place with headphones.
- Your first session is a full assessment. You and the doctor agree on a plan together, which can include talk therapy (CBT), medicine, or both, and follow-ups are online.
Common pressures for Nepalis in Qatar
Many Nepalis in Qatar work long shifts in construction, hospitality, security, retail and services, and many others study or work in offices. These are common experiences, not a diagnosis, and everyone's situation is different.
- Long shifts, heat and night work that leave little time or energy for anything else.
- Shared accommodation, where privacy for a phone or video call can be hard to find.
- Being away from family for months or years, and missing weddings, festivals and illnesses at home.
- Money worries: sending money home, debt taken to travel for work, and contract or paperwork stress.
- Sleep that does not settle after night shifts.
If several of these feel familiar and have lasted for weeks, it is worth talking to someone. Early support usually makes things easier.
Time difference between Qatar and Nepal
Nepal is at UTC+5:45 all year, with no daylight saving.
| Where you are | Time difference | Evening example |
|---|---|---|
| Doha | Nepal is 2 h 45 min ahead | 8 pm there = 10:45 pm in Nepal |
The clocks in this country do not change during the year, and Nepal has no daylight saving either, so the gap stays the same.
If you finish a night shift in the morning, tell us. Early morning in Doha is mid-morning in Kathmandu, and we can look for a time around your rest.

If you need urgent help in Qatar
Kathmandu Mental Health Clinic is not an emergency service. If you or someone near you is in danger or thinking of ending their life, call the local emergency number now: 999. More helplines by country: findahelpline.com and befrienders.org.
Medicine, prescriptions and paperwork
Medicine rules differ from country to country, and a prescription from Nepal is generally not valid abroad. In your session the doctor explains what is possible in your situation. Where medicine is needed, we can help you prepare a clear summary to share with a doctor in Qatar, and we work with therapy and practical strategies in the meantime. If you need a summary for a university or employer, ask your doctor; whether they accept it is their decision.
Family in Nepal can be part of it
If you would like, parents, a spouse or a partner can join a session by video. A family member in Nepal can also call us to ask questions or arrange an appointment. As an adult you need to agree to take part yourself, and what you share stays private unless you decide otherwise.
What we can help with
Our doctors assess and treat depression, panic and anxiety, sleep problems, stress and burnout, OCD, adult ADHD and addiction, as well as grief, homesickness and family worries. See everything for Nepalis abroad or book a consultation.
