Mental health in neglected tropical diseases of skin
Additional Professor, Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology,
Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh, India
I did my MBBS from Government Medical College, Chandigarh and MD from Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh, India. I’ve been fortunate to work in the field of dermatology for over two decades, focusing on conditions that not only affect the skin but also have broader impacts on patients' mental health and well-being.I have been working in Leprosy clinic for more than 10 years after I joined PGIMER. I have published about 280 papers in peer reviewed journals and have contributed to more than 25 chapters in Textbooks of Dermatology, Internal Medicine, Psychiatry and Paediatrics.
My interest in neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) like leprosy and cutaneous leishmaniasis has grown through my involvement in various research and clinical initiatives. As part of the IADVL Special Interest Groups on Leprosy and NTDs, I’ve tried to highlight how these diseases affect individuals beyond just the physical symptoms, particularly focusing on the stigma and mental health challenges they face.
In addition, I’ve developed a deep interest in psychodermatology—understanding the connection between the skin and the mind. Chronic skin conditions often require us to look at both physical and psychological care. I believe that offering comprehensive care that includes mental health support is essential for improving the quality of life for patients.
It’s been a rewarding journey, and I feel grateful to contribute to these important areas of dermatology. My goal is to continue learning and helping those who are often neglected or stigmatized due to their conditions.
