Dr. Shalu Elizabeth Abraham

I am a dedicated psychiatrist with a strong passion for child and adolescent psychiatry, currently pursuing my DM in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at NIMHANS, where I achieved first rank in the national entrance exam of 2021. I also secured the second position in MD Psychiatry exams conducted by RGUHS in 2019, underscoring my commitment to academic excellence. Throughout my professional journey, I have actively engaged in both research and clinical practice, focusing on holistic care approaches for young patients. I integrate innovative methods, such as incorporating yoga into mental health treatment plans, to enhance therapeutic outcomes. My current research centers on evaluating survivors of child sexual abuse during legal proceedings, reflecting my dedication to addressing the complex psychological needs of children and adolescents. Previously, I served as a Senior Resident at prestigious institutions including NIMHANS and CMC, Vellore, where I gained extensive experience in diagnosing and managing psychiatric disorders across diverse age groups. My expertise spans adult psychiatry as well, providing a comprehensive foundation for my specialization in child and adolescent psychiatry. I am eager to leverage my skills to make a meaningful impact in mental health care. I am committed to compassionate clinical practice and actively contribute to spreading credible mental health awareness. I seek opportunities to collaborate with like-minded professionals and organizations dedicated to advancing mental health initiatives and improving patient outcomes.
