Researcher and clinician specializing in the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying psychosis, and the development of psychosocial treatments to support recovery.
Dr. Mahesh Menon is a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of British Columbia, where his work focuses on the cognitive and neural bases of psychosis. His research examines how unusual perceptual and belief-formation processes give rise to psychotic symptoms — including hallucinations and delusions — with the aim of developing more effective psychosocial interventions that can complement or reduce reliance on medication.
He is particularly interested in the role of aberrant salience and predictive processing in the genesis of psychotic experiences, and in translating these theoretical insights into practical treatment tools. Dr. Menon has conducted clinical trials of psychological interventions for psychosis and has published on the mechanisms of change in these treatments. His work speaks to a broader conviction that psychosis is an understandable phenomenon — one that can be engaged with therapeutically, not merely managed pharmacologically.
