Elia Abi-Jaoude is a psychiatrist, clinical educator, and researcher based at the Hospital for Sick Children.  His area of clinical specialization is developmental neuropsychiatry.  He is interested in asking and pursuing challenging questions related to accepted concepts and treatments in psychiatry.  He teaches and regularly gives presentations about how to mitigate commercial bias in medical literature and practice.  Last year, he was co-author on a landmark publication related to the topic.  He believes that approaching global mental health through a critical lens can teach us valuable lessons for the practice of psychiatry in the West.
