Abstract:

As part of the initiative to have more conversations about mental health and wellbeing, the Workplace Wellbeing Committee would like to organise a talk and Q & A session with Dr. Vyjayanthi Subramaniyan, who serves as one of the two consulting psychiatrists at the IISc Wellness Centre. This session aims at addressing questions and concerns which are perhaps close to all our hearts- how do we recognise and ask for help in dealing with issues concerning mental health, for ourselves or for friends and loved ones. Dr. Vyjayanthi would like this to be a question & answer session so as to address our concerns better, in the limited time available.
