Academic degree: | MD (Doctor of Medicine) |
Area of specialization: | I am mostly focused on complex psychiatric conditions where diagnosis doesn't just sit in one neat box. I work a lot with substance use disorders—alcohol, nicotine, cannabis, opioids—each one has it’s own pattern and challenges, especially when there's denial or family pressure involved. OCD too, I see it in so many forms beyond the usual stereotypes, and treating it right needs patience... and repeated tweaking. Schizophrenia, bipolar with psychotic features—those cases take time and follow-up, but that’s kinda where long-term trust gets built.
I also deal with mood swings, anxiety issues, panic episodes—sometimes mild, sometimes really disruptive. Child psychiatry is another space I care about, especially when early signs go unnoticed. Geriatric mental health, community-level awareness work, even alternative approaches to psychiatric care—I've tried to keep my clinical work open to these too, without losing grip on the science.
I think a lot about quality of life, not just symptoms... that's become important for how I frame my treatment goals. |
Achievements: | I am someone who kinda slipped into research early on—mostly hospital-based studies around alcohol and opioid dependence, and also OCD, which became a long-term interest. My dissertation actually dug into OCD from multiple sides—like comorbidities, clinical patterns, and how much it messes with quality of life. I’ve shared that work in academic meets, not for show-off but just to add something useful to how we understand these conditions. I also spend time training, teaching, plus mental health outreach whenever I can squeeze it in... |
I am a psychiatrist who’s been pretty much immersed in the wide, layered world of mental health—from inpatient wards to OPDs, crisis situations to long-term follow-ups. I work with all kinds of conditions, but yeah, mood disorders, anxiety, OCD, psychosis, and substance use disorders are kinda the core of what I do day in-day out. Diagnosing is just one part of it—what really matters is figuring out how each person’s mental health is getting tangled up with their life, environment, and past. That’s usually where things start to make a bit of sense... or at least a direction shows up. I try to stay true to evidence-based psychiatry—I mean the research, the guidelines, they matter—but I also don’t stick to a cold clinical rulebook. Every person comes in with their own story, some are just barely keeping it together, some don’t even know what’s wrong. I listen, ask, re-check if needed, explain (sometimes not very elegantly), and build the plan with them—not just *for* them. That part’s important to me. Like, the human part of this whole thing. I’ve worked in both hospital setups and regular clinics—handling acute psychiatric emergencies where every minute is intense, and also slower-paced outpatient work where trust builds slowly over months. Honestly both require very different kinds of focus and patience. I do care about mental health awareness, not just in theory but like... helping someone realize this isn’t their fault or they’re not just “weak”—that’s something I keep trying to put out there, even if it’s just in small ways during consults. Anyway, psychiatry isn’t black and white. It’s complicated, messy sometimes. But it’s also real, and healing happens in pieces, not all at once. I’m here for that.
