Dr. Brian Zachariah chose the mental health field because of a patient, who once told him that they were “smiling on the outside, but screaming on the inside”, which inspired him to go into psychiatry. Mental health is often neglected, and people put on a face every day to hide the suffering on the inside. Dr. Zachariah hopes that he can play a small part in easing that pain with the specialty he chose. The most important driving force for Dr. Zachariah is seeing his patients doing better, living happier lives, and working towards their goals.
