Nadisha Jayasinghe MD

Co-Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer

Nadisha began MYND Initiative Inc. in April 2015 after observing the lack of understanding and compassion for people in the community struggling with mental illness.  This gave him the idea to develop an initiative that would help educate people about mental health and mental illness and remove the associated stigma.  Through his medical knowledge, combined with lived experience of depression and anxiety, Nadisha has developed a passion for mental health advocacy.  It is his dream that communities of understanding will develop with increased education and resources. Nadisha also co-founded mental health initiatives including UNSW Psychiatry Society and developed a mental health guide for UNSW medical students.
