About Dr. Neha Jaswani
Dr. Neha Jaswani is a Consultant Psychiatrist and sexologist with over 9 years of experience in mental health care. She completed her MBBS from Indira Gandhi Government Medical College, Nagpur, under Maharashtra University of Health Sciences, Nashik in 2017. She then completed her DPM (Diploma in Psychological Medicine) in Psychiatry from The College of Physicians and Surgeons in 2024, where she is noted to have topped her university. She additionally holds a Diploma in Community Mental Health from the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), Bengaluru, one of India's most respected institutions in the field of mental health. She is registered with the Maharashtra Medical Council under registration number 2019043023.
The NIMHANS Diploma in Community Mental Health is a particularly significant credential. NIMHANS is India's premier mental health institution and its community mental health programme focuses on accessible, de-stigmatised and population-level approaches to mental health care. Holding this qualification indicates a clinical philosophy that goes beyond the consulting room and reflects a commitment to making mental health services available to people who might otherwise not seek help due to social stigma, lack of awareness or limited access.
Dr. Jaswani's clinical scope in psychiatry covers anxiety disorders, depression, stress-related conditions, relationship difficulties and lifestyle-related mental health concerns. These are among the most frequently occurring presentations in psychiatric outpatient practice, particularly in urban settings where work pressure, social expectations and lifestyle changes contribute significantly to mental health burden. Her approach is described as approachable and stigma-free, which is directly relevant given that many patients delay seeking help for mental health concerns because they are uncertain how they will be received. Dr. Jaswani creates a consultation environment where patients can speak openly without judgement.
In addition to general psychiatry, she practises as a sexologist with a focus on sexual health concerns. Sexual health is an area where patients frequently find it difficult to seek medical advice, partly due to discomfort and partly because of limited awareness of available specialist care. Dr. Jaswani's dual training in psychiatry and sexual health allows her to address conditions where psychological and sexual health intersect, which is often the case in presentations involving performance anxiety, relationship stress or intimacy concerns. She currently works at Allo Sexual Health Clinic, Pune, further consolidating her expertise in this area.
Dr. Neha Jaswani brings a thoughtful, patient-centred approach to her psychiatric consultations and is committed to providing mental health care that is clear, practical and accessible. She also practises at Baner Multi-Speciality Hospital, Baner, Pune, where patients from Baner, Wakad, Aundh and Pashan can consult her for psychiatric and sexual health care in a private and supportive setting close to home.
