It is in fact women’s issues that pulled Janhavi towards the branch of psychiatry after her MBBS. She has done her DNB training from Masina hospital, which is one of the best Psychiatry hospitals in Mumbai with an outpatient load of more than 50 psychiatry patients per day. She went on to work in Nair hospital in the child guidance clinic, which is one of the learning disability certifying centres in Mumbai.
