Committed to mental wellness at Connell Medical
Mine is a long history in care-giving and it is an honour to have served the public of Barbados as a psychiatrist and then consultant psychiatrist for the Barbados Psychiatric Hospital. My private practice is a continuation of my commitment to mental health wellness in Barbados.
Thankfully, the stigma attached to mental health issues is fast disappearing as Bajans acquaint themselves with the reality that illness in the mind is no different from hypertension or diabetes. That’s the reality. There is no shame in asking for help. Men and women must be committed to self care in times like this. And it is with this is in mind that I have seen and continue to see people in all professions, of all ages, all races and stations in life, coming and calling to get advice, treatment and guidance for all kinds of challenges from anxiety, depression, panic disorder, phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder to much more serious illnesses. The key is not to ignore symptoms and feelings but to address them early. My brothers are notorious for coming in at the last minute. Guys do yourself a favour, we are men, let’s talk too. My practice is confidential, completely private, just me and you.
Over the years I have provided direct clinical services such as interventions, psychiatric evaluations, crisis intervention, individual and group psychotherapy, marriage counselling, substance abuse management, psychopharmacology, and referrals to agencies and professionals in Barbados. I have delivered training for professional and paraprofessional staff; consulted with faculty and staff at various institutions and Universities, help set up Ward C4 at the Barbados Queen Elizabeth Hospital, the psychiatric ward of the QEH.
My remit included performing outreach and I was and still am strongly involved in Mental Health Awareness activities. The health and wellness of school children, young adults and adolescents is also important to me. In addition, I have prescribed, directed, and administered psychotherapeutic treatments or medications to treat mental, emotional, or behavioural disorders and collaborated with physicians, psychologists, social workers, psychiatric nurses and other professionals to discuss treatment plans and progress. The successes are quite good in Barbados with early intervention. Like anyone else, those with not so severe mental illness and even severe mental health issues can live full, functional lives with the right treatment. So come in and talk with us or we can do a telephone consultation.
