Dr. Karuna Anand

Dr. Karuna Anand is a Consultant Psychiatrist at Emirates Hospitals Group, certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology with over 22 years of clinical experience across the USA and UAE. She completed her psychiatric training at Loyola University in Chicago and held academic positions as Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Touro University, California, and Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of California-Davis. Her unique background as an obstetrician and gynaecologist before specialising in psychiatry has given her deep insight into the mental health challenges women face during pregnancy and after childbirth.

Dr. Anand treats a wide range of mental health conditions across all ages—from children and adolescents through to older adults. Her main clinical areas include perinatal and postnatal depression and anxiety, ADHD in both children and adults, mood and anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders, eating disorders, and sexual dysfunction. She combines psychological therapies (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, and marital counselling) with medication management, and offers Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive brain treatment for certain mental health conditions. She is fluent in English, Urdu, and Hindi.

Dr. Anand takes a patient-centred approach, tailoring treatment plans to individual needs and considering physical, emotional, and psychological wellbeing. She is a good fit for anyone seeking comprehensive psychiatric care with particular strength in women's mental health, perinatal issues, or ADHD management.
