Consultant Psychiatrist and Counselor
In Person
More than 970 million people are affected by one or more mental disorders on our planet. In developing countries, the situation is much worse. 75-90 % of the people with mental health needs are never able to see a mental health provider of any kind due to barriers in the pathway of care. As a young psychiatrist, I was faced with this challenge of a mental health gap(mhGAP) especially working among the poor in a rural hospital in South Asia. This is a story of how the overwhelming need was met by the calling of our God to rethink mental health.
