Shownotes

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
