About Dr Sonia Malhotra

Dr. Sonia Malhotra is a Psychiatrist whose passion is her occupation. Although she has a keen interest in and practices all specialties of Psychiatry, she is specially trained in Child And Adolescent Psychiatry and Women Mental Health Issues. Apart from using medicines, her strength lies in practicing Non-Pharmacological (Psychotherapy) and Psychosocial Modalities Of Treatment. She is also available on-call in areas around NIBM, Wanowrie, Salunke Vihar, Fatima Nagar and Hadapsar. She engages in public awareness activities and has an approach of problem-solving rather than pathologising. Psychiatry, as seen by her, is less about stigma and more about leading a happy and successful life!
