About

Sruthi Ninan is a dedicated researcher in neuropsychiatry, with a primary focus on post-stroke depression (PSD) and its non-pharmacological management. Her work addresses a critical gap in stroke rehabilitation, given that PSD affects up to 40% of stroke survivors within three months, impairing cognitive recovery and survival. In her most cited paper, "Emerging Non-Pharmacological Therapies for Post-stroke Depression and its Future Aspects: A Review" (2019), Ninan conducted a comprehensive literature review across PsychInfo, PubMed, and Science Direct, synthesizing evidence on alternative interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and mindfulness-based approaches. This review, with 4 citations, highlights her contribution to expanding treatment options beyond conventional antidepressants, which often have limited efficacy in stroke patients. Ninan’s work is notable for its translational potential, offering clinicians and researchers a roadmap for integrating non-pharmacological therapies into post-stroke care. Her research underscores the importance of holistic recovery, addressing both neurological and psychiatric dimensions of stroke. For students and researchers, Ninan’s work serves as a foundational resource in the evolving field of neuropsychiatric rehabilitation, emphasizing the need for personalized, multidisciplinary approaches to improve quality of life for stroke survivors.
