Dr. P. K. Gupta, MD, is a dedicated and experienced psychiatrist who has spent decades serving the mental health needs of people in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, and beyond. Born and raised in the serene hill town of Dehradun, nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas, he developed a deep connection to his hometown early on. His schooling at St. Thomas High School laid the foundation for a lifelong passion for medicine and helping others.

He pursued his MBBS from the University of Agra (now part of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar University) between 1979 and 1985, where he earned honors in ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat), reflecting his early aptitude and hard work. Driven by an interest in the complexities of the mind, he went on to complete his MD in Psychiatry (Psychological Medicine) from the same institution between 1987 and 1989. These formative years at S.N. Medical College, Agra, included rigorous training through internships and residencies, shaping him into a compassionate yet highly skilled clinician.

After his postgraduate training, Dr. Gupta returned to his roots in Dehradun. He initially worked as a consultant at Deemag Clinic and has since made it his professional home. Over the years, he has built more than 35 years of overall medical experience, with a focused expertise of over 23 years in neuropsychiatry, epileptology, and electroencephalography (EEG). He treats a wide range of conditions, from common psychiatric disorders to complex neuropsychiatric issues, epilepsy, headaches, and related neurological challenges. Patients often appreciate his thorough, patient-centered approach that blends medical science with genuine empathy.

Dr. Gupta has always believed in staying connected to the global psychiatric community. He has attended and presented at prestigious international conferences, including the Annual Meeting of the American Psychiatric Association in New York, the World Psychiatry Association congress in Egypt, and the World Conference on Biological Psychiatry in Prague. Closer to home, he has chaired scientific sessions for organizations like the Indian Medical Association and the Association of Physicians of India, and presented papers—such as one on chronic headaches at the Indian Psychiatric Society’s central zone meet in Agra.

His commitment to the field shines through his professional affiliations. He is a Life Fellow of the Indian Psychiatric Society and the Indian Association of Private Psychiatry, a lifelong member of the Association of Physicians of India, and a member of the Indian Medical Association and the American Psychiatric Association. He has held leadership roles, including as Honorary General Secretary and President Elect of the Association of Physicians of India (Dehradun Branch).

Beyond clinical practice, Dr. Gupta is a prolific author. He has written and published thirteen books available on Amazon, covering topics like viva voce preparation for neurology, epilepsy, and headaches; medico-legal issues in medicine; and even an autobiography titled ME—An Autobiography. These works reflect his love for teaching, sharing knowledge, and documenting his journey as a doctor. He is also an avid reader of English and Hindi literature, a cricket enthusiast, and a middle-distance runner—interests that help him maintain balance amid a demanding career.

Years ago, his expertise caught wider attention when he was featured in a prime-time interview on Zee News, a moment that highlighted his contributions to mental health awareness in the region.

Today, Dr. Gupta continues to practice at Deemag Clinic (also known as Deemag and Chest Clinic), located at 61/5 Gandhi Road (lane near Jain Dharamshala), Dehradun, Uttarakhand 248001.
