Dr. Adil Farooq is a licensed clinical psychologist and researcher holding a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from the Islamia University of Bahawalpur and a Doctor of Philosophy in Clinical Psychology from the University of Lahore — with HEC board certification recognizing his standing as a qualified clinical professional in Pakistan.

With deep expertise spanning mood disorders, anxiety spectrum conditions, treatment-resistant depression, and the emerging intersections of psychology with modern life, Dr. Adil Farooq brings both clinical rigor and genuine compassion to every piece written for Psychiatry Magazine.

As founder and lead author of psychiatrymagazine.com, his mission has always been singular — to close the gap between what psychological science knows and what the public has access to, in language that is precise, honest, and deeply human.

"Mental health knowledge should not be locked behind clinical journals. Every person deserves access to accurate, evidence-based psychological insight — written with the clarity of a clinician and the empathy of someone who understands that behind every diagnosis is a human life."
