Dr. Mythili Hazarika

I have more than 20 years of experience in mental health care and services under the Health and Family Welfare Department, Government of Assam. With an MPhil degree in Clinical Psychology from NIMHANS, Bengaluru I was able to create a distinct space for mental health initiatives in this part of the country. My PhD from Gauhati University and my post-doctoral training in Epidemiology and Public Health from the University of Florida, USA, further strengthened the skills and expertise essential for advancing mental health care. I hold professional memberships in more than 20 organizations. Notably, I have served on the State Mental Health Authority for over 10 years, and I am also a member of the Autism Board of Assam, several Boards under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPWD) Act, and the Tobacco Cessation Board. I am associated with multiple national and international forums as a guest lecturer and as part of editorial and review boards of scientific journals, including FRONTIERS and OJPAS.
