Dr Lakmali Edirimanne Psychiatrist

I have a strong interest in understanding how the brain interacts with both external and internal environments, particularly regarding the neuroplasticity of developing brains. Key influences in a child's external environment include parents, peers, and educational institutions. This understanding motivates me to create pathways that foster meaningful relationships between children and their adult caregivers, ultimately supporting self-formation and addressing emotional challenges and mental health issues. I possess extensive experience in the application of psychopharmacology for various mental health conditions in children, including depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, psychosis, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and schizophrenia.
