At MindWell we believe in providing our clients with the full scope of mental health services. For some patients this requires a referral to a psychiatrist for an assessment from a medical perspective and possible biological treatments such as medications or brain stimulation therapies. In this regard we have an exclusive partnership with Alsuwaidan Clinic, a leading private psychiatry clinic licensed under the Kuwait Ministry of Health and led by Dr. Mohammad Alsuwaidan.

He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, a Diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and is certified in public health by the National Board of Public Health Examiners in the United States.
