As a third-generation British Punjabi woman and a trainee in forensic psychiatry, I inhabit spaces where distress is often unseen and unheard. Much of my daily work sits at the intersection of the clinical and the cultural, engaging with the kinds of suffering that society doesn’t always recognise as legitimate, let alone visible. Mental health doesn’t exist in a vacuum. We deserve to have conversations that are rooted in context. What drives me is a deep interest in how health, culture, and politics collide, not in abstract terms, but in the very real, everyday lives of people navigating systems that weren’t built for them.
