Born in Nigeria and raised in Arizona, she returned to Nigeria to complete her education. After earning her medical degree from the College of Medicine of the Lagos State University, she went on to complete an internship in Kingston, Jamaica. Thereafter, she relocated to the United States where she completed her residency in psychiatry at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey in Newark, followed by her fellowship in child psychiatry at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston.
Since then, she has had the privilege of caring for patients of all ages. “Even though some conditions might have the same diagnosis, it’s important that I recognize each patient as an individual. It’s important that I ask the right questions to allow them to tell their unique story. That helps me find the right treatment approach for each individual patient.” stated Dr. Arene.
As it turns out, psychiatry was the perfect choice for her. “As a patient once told me, ‘with some illnesses you can get on with your life. But when your mind is broken, you can’t function’. It’s extremely rewarding for me when a patient comes to me depressed or with such anxiety that they’re unable to leave their house, and I’m able to help them return to being a whole person again, to being a wife, to being a mother.” she said.
Psychiatry is the medical specialty devoted to the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of mental disorders.
