Background

About Rakesh Ns

I am a dedicated Mental Health and Psychiatric Social Work professional with an MPhil in Psychiatric Social Work from DIMHANS, India. My clinical and research experience spans across family therapy, child & adolescent mental health, neurology, and community psychiatry. I have worked with diverse populations, contributing to multidisciplinary teams and collaborating with psychiatrists, neurologists, psychologists, and social work scholars. My MPhil dissertation focused on medication compliance, illness severity, and quality of life in psychiatric settings — reflecting my research and policy interests. With hands-on training at prestigious institutions such as NIMHANS and DIMHANS, I am now seeking international roles that value culturally informed, evidence-based mental health social work in clinical, research, or community settings. Special Interests: Family Therapy, Child Mental Health, Community Psychiatry, Neurological Social Work, Global Mental Health Policies.
