SAMI Y SAAD

I am a motivated psychiatry and neuropsychiatry professional specializing in neurocognitive disorders and psychiatric manifestations of conditions like MS, epilepsy, movement disorders, autoimmune diseases, and functional neurological disorders. I also research mental illness stigma and actively enhance my psychotherapy skills. Outside work, I enjoy baking, photography, and the gym. I'm happily married to my wife, Omniah, and we have two children, Kinan and Ammar.
