Dr Rashid Zaman FRCPsych

Interests

I am a psychiatrist and researcher interested in collaborative and translational research in number of psychiatric disorders, including, ADHD, Bipolar Affective Disorder, Depression, OCD and Schizophrenia.

I am also intersted in neuromodulation techniques such as Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) as investigative and therapeutic tool in psychiatric and non-psychiatric disorders.
