Assad Meymandi, MD, PhD, DLFAPA

June 2010


As a noted psychiatrist, humanist, and philanthropist, Dr. Assad Meymandi was our obvious first choice to interview for our new column, “I’m a Psychiatrist,” a series of interviews we will be featuring in the journal that recognizes practicing psychiatrists who offer something unique and positive to the ever-evolving field of psychiatry. With his unwavering commitment to give back to the community and help those less fortunate and his robust thirst for knowledge and appreciation of the beauty of life, Dr. Meymandi is an example to us all of how to be truly thankful for this world in which we live. We hope you enjoy getting to know Dr. Meymandi as much as we have.
