Manjula O’Connor

Professor Manjula O’Connor is a respected psychiatrist and researcher based in Victoria, Australia, who specializes in the intersection of mental health and family violence. She has identified troubling trends in the misdiagnosis of women in abusive relationships, often attributing their symptoms to mental health conditions rather than recognizing the impact of trauma. O’Connor's work draws attention to the necessity for greater awareness and training among healthcare providers regarding the complexities of domestic violence and its psychological effects.
