“A diagnosis is a starting point, not a definition. My work is to understand the person behind the presentation — their history, their culture, their world.”
Dr. Andre Baptiste is a psychiatrist with 18 years of experience specialising in mood disorders, psychosis, and the mental health of diaspora communities. He completed his medical training at Universite de Montreal and his psychiatric residency at the University of Ottawa, where he has maintained a private and hospital-based practice ever since.
His clinical work focuses on bridging the significant gap between formal psychiatric care and the communities that need it most.
How my background shapes my work
Growing up between two languages and two cultures, I understand what it means to translate not just words but entire frameworks of understanding. My consultations are conversations, not assessments.
