Dr.Amod Borkar

I completed my graduation in MBBS in Rural Medical College, Loni, Pune University in 2001 & my post graduation in Psychiatry from K.E.M.(King Edward Memorial) hospital, Pune in 2004. While I was a Chief Resident( CR) in psychiatry during my residency, I developed interest in Neuro-Psychiatry. I enjoyed working with Special Population with different disabilities for 6 weeks in Hartheim University, AUSTRIA in 2006. Psychiatry is my passion. I look forward to help people in their difficult times emotionally, distressing situations where all avenues to come out seem bleak or shut down. When someone feels his/her life has become stagnant & kind of stuck. Neuropsychological disorders like Alzheimer's & other Dementias, Stroke,Traumatic Brain injury, Epilepsy, Memory problems with Minimal Cognitive Impairment ( MCI ), Mood Disorders, Suicide prevention, Crisis Intervention, Schizophrenia & other psychosis, Substance Abuse, OCD, PTSD, GAD( generalised anxiety disorder), ADHD, Autistic Spectrum disorders, Mental retardation, Family & Relationship problems, Personality disorders, Sexual problems that cripple the lives of many; are my areas / topics of interest. Taking workshops, seminars or group discussions with specific target population such as teenagers, old age people, addicts, mentally ill & their care-givers depending upon most relevant issues. Awareness, one on one therapy sessions, online counseling & rehabilitation programs are the routine key tools I use to extend professional help & guidance for needy members of the society. Adolescent problems, Adult Psychiatric illnesses, Old age problems, Neuro-psychiatric problems, De-addiction, Relational problems & Deliberate Self Harm issues are my areas of expertise.I am typical Puneite.
