Mind & Body in Synergy
In Hindu Puranas, the Devas & the Asuras churned the ocean of milk to create the Elixir of life. Similarly, the mind "Mana" & the body "Thanu" must work synergistically for a fulfilling life.
"The secret of health for both mind & body is not to mourn for the past nor worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly" — Buddha

Psychiatrist — Assessment, Diagnosis & Treatment
I’m Dr. Arun Bhat P. A Consultant Psychiatrist, Co-founder of Manthana Foundation, and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at K.S. Hegde Hospital, NITTE. I completed my MBBS at KMC Mangalore, DPM at MVJ Medical College, Bangalore, and DNB in Psychiatry at Masina Hospital, Mumbai. My practice focuses on consultation, diagnosis, and pharmacological management across children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. I work with conditions including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, OCD, psychosis, PTSD, sleep disorders, childhood mental health concerns, and dementia. I believe mental health concerns are treatable, not something to be ashamed of. Through Manthana Foundation, I also work towards making mental healthcare more accessible and reducing the stigma around seeking help. My areas of special interest include Psychopharmacology and Sexual Medicine, along with an interest in spirituality, dreams, and the intersection of mind, belief, and culture.
