    Overview

  • Dr. Pallavi Joshi is a distinguished psychiatrist in Whitefield, Bengaluru, with over 14 years of experience in clinical psychiatry, research, and academic medicine. She is currently practising as a Consultant – Psychiatry at Manipal Hospital, Varthur Road, Whitefield, with focused expertise in women’s mental health, psycho-oncology, perinatal psychiatry, and evidence-based psychotherapy.

  • An MD Psychiatry Gold Medalist from Government Medical College & Sir J.J. Group of Hospitals, Mumbai, Dr. Pallavi also holds a D.P.M (C.P.S) and an MBBS from Government Medical College, Nagpur. Her academic distinction is complemented by national recognitions including the A.K. Naik Best Paper Award and selection for the Early Career Mental Health Program led by Dr. Norman Sartorius, where she was one of sixteen psychiatrists chosen across India.

  • Her clinical practice spans mood disorders, anxiety spectrum conditions, stress-related disorders, psychosomatic concerns, and complex emotional difficulties across age groups. She has completed certificate courses in Perinatal Psychiatry, Essentials of Palliative Care, and Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy, and is a certified hypnotist trained in REBT, CBT, and psychoanalytic models. This layered training enables her to tailor interventions based on individual psychological formulation rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

  • Dr. Pallavi’s areas of interest include Corporate and Media Psychiatry, Psycho-oncology, Onco-psychiatry, and Women’s Mental Health. Her engagement with psycho-oncology reflects structured involvement in addressing emotional distress, pain, sleep disturbances, and psychological resilience in individuals facing cancer diagnoses. In perinatal and women’s mental health, she integrates hormonal, psychosocial, and relational dimensions into psychiatric care planning. Her expertise in these domains contributes to her recognition as one of the best psychiatrists in Whitefield for nuanced, gender-sensitive and context-aware mental health care.

  • Her academic contributions include peer-reviewed publications such as “Psychopathology and other contributing stressful factors in female offenders” and collaborative international research with NHS Trust, Cornwall, UK, examining attitudes towards psychiatry and geriatric depression. She has delivered presentations at national conferences, including ANCIPS, and international CPD forums in the United Kingdom. Beyond journals, she has authored two Marathi books related to psychiatry, reflecting her commitment to mental health literacy in regional languages.

  • Fluent in English, Hindi, and Marathi, she communicates with clarity and cultural sensitivity, often integrating lived experiences and social contexts into psychiatric assessment. Her consultation style is structured yet conversational, allowing space for narrative exploration while maintaining diagnostic precision. Through sustained academic engagement, clinical depth, and public mental health advocacy in national media platforms, Dr. Pallavi Joshi is widely regarded as one of the best psychiatrists in Whitefield, particularly for comprehensive, ethically grounded psychiatric care.
