Hi and very welcome to my blog corner!
I am Dr. Mahesh Rajasuriya from Sri Lanka. I am a Senior Lecturer in Psychological Medicine with a special interest in psychotherapy at Faculty of Medicine, University of Colombo, Sri Lanka. I also work as a Consultant Psychiatrist at National Hospital of Sri Lanka, Colombo. I also happen to be the Chairperson of the Governing Board of ADIC Sri Lanka.
I obtained my MD in Psychiatry in Sri Lanka in 2005 and left for Australia for further training. I joined University of Colombo in 2010, after serving two years at General Hospital, Ampara, which is situated in the Eastern Province of Sri Lanka.
Currently I am doing an MPhil degree by research based on a randomised control trial on treatment methods for alcohol use disorders.
IOGT International is the premier global network for evidence-based policy measures and community-based interventions to prevent and reduce harm caused by alcohol and other drugs.
Our heart-driven work protects children and youth, makes communities safer, and promotes health and development worldwide.
