ABPN board-certified in Psychiatry with residency completed at UC San Diego from 2004 to 2008 after earning her MD from Adichunchanagiri Institute of Medical Sciences in 2001, Dr. Reshma Bhat practices from the UCSD Department of Psychiatry building at 140 West Arbor Drive on the UCSD Hillcrest campus. Patient referrals come in through UCSD-affiliated primary care including HIV-specialty internal medicine at Owen Clinic, where complex psychiatric comorbidity is common. Published research includes peer-reviewed work in Psychosomatics on psychiatric resident education in palliative care, reflecting a clinical interest in the consult-liaison interface between psychiatric and end-of-life medical care. Treatment scope covers depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and adjustment to serious medical illness for adults referred from oncology, internal medicine, and primary care. Therapy continuity for patients who need weekly counseling alongside psychiatric medication management is routed to bilingual community therapists such as Leilany Lima Counseling and Consulting. The most clinically demanding work in this office is psychiatric consult-liaison care for medically complex patients facing simultaneous oncologic, infectious-disease, and mood-disorder management.
