Farrukh Alam

Spear’s Review

‘I never see any ailment in isolation, but rather consider the impact in a holistic manner,’ says Dr Farrukh Alam, a renowned psychiatrist and medical director of Addcounsel.

With expertise in the treatment of addictive, anxiety and depressive disorders, Alam has worked in addiction recovery for 25 years. Clients receive a comprehensive assessment, and a team of specialists then deliver a tailor-made treatment plan.

When working with HNW patients, Alam’s emphasis is not on their material success, but rather their physical, psychological and spiritual health. ‘We are discussing the increasing need to look at social, human and cultural capital – not just financial,’ he says.
