Open Mind Night is about everything mental health and mental illness related. My hope is to increase the discussion and dialogue about these topics in an authentic and candid way with individuals who live with it, organizations and educational programs who service it, professionals who treat it, and researchers who study it.

Mental Health & South Asian Americans with Dr. Neeru Bakshi

Joining me on this episode is my guest Dr. Neeru Bakshi. She is a board-certified psychiatrist with passion for mental health equity.  She has worked in a variety of care settings and has served in leadership positions.  Being a South Asian woman, Dr. Bakshi has worked tirelessly to champion culturally informed treatment for South Asians. Note: in our interview she does mention a social media handle, so I’d like to make the correction that the social media influencer she refers to is actually @browngirltrauma not @brownmamatrauma. 

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Mental Health in South Asians and South Asian Americans
  • Views and beliefs about mental healthcare
  • Intergenerational factors
  • Inclusion of Women of Color in Health Leadership
