On this edition of Checkup From the Neck-Up, Dr. Neckup Rich O’Neill’s guest is psychiatrist, researcher, and author Dr. Seetha Ramanathan. She talks about initially wanting to be a nuclear physicist, how cultural and family influences led her to choose medicine, how a question from a patient sparked a career change from surgery to psychiatry, and what is now giving her the freedom for a dramatic change despite her distinguished career in psychiatry. And… she suggests how to talk to our kids about creating a happy life while being true to oneself.
