Graduating at the University of Stellenbosch, I interned at 2 Military Hospital (Psychiatric Ward) and at the Institute for Medical Medicine in Simonstown. I worked with both inpatients and out-patients diagnosed with severe psychopathology and behavioural disorders. I was involved with assessments, selection processes, skills training, and course presentations. A multi-disciplinary approach was followed on all levels.
Dr Juan-Mari Kruger is a specialist psychiatrist in private practice in the Western Cape. Dr Kruger has a stellar academic background having fostered her interest in psychiatry back in 2013 completing a Diploma in Mental Health, followed by a fellowship and master’s degree in psychiatry, and an MBA (Cum Laude) from Stellenbosch University. Her research included profiling suicidal patients, and she has worked extensively in both general and forensic psychiatry. Dr Kruger refuses to tell her patients battling with Mental Health that ‘no further treatment options exist’, hence her interest and excitement about outpatient ketamine infusion therapy.
