During this prestigious event, Dr. Hamid delivered a keynote presentation titled “Migraine and Epilepsy: Do They Share Common Neurobiology?”, shedding light on the neurobiological connections between these disorders and their implications for mental health. His research offers valuable insights into shared neurological pathways, potentially paving the way for enhanced treatment strategies for both conditions.

At ANCIPS, he chaired two scientific sessions, presented research papers on the “Neurobiology of Emotion” and the “Mental Health of Psychiatrists”, and conducted a hands-on workshop on Neurostimulation in Psychiatric Practice. The workshop, which lasted for 3.5 hours, was coordinated with fellow experts Dr. G Prasad Rao, Dr. Gautam Saha, and Dr. Sai Krishna Tikka, providing advanced insights into neurostimulation and neuromodulation techniques for clinical practice.
Dr. Hamid’s contributions extend far beyond conferences.
