Meet Dr Yanga Thungana
Your Neuropsychiatrist
Dr. Yanga Thungana is a Neuropsychiatrist and Mental Health Advocate on a mission to empower people to become partners in their neurological health.
Dr. Thungana believes that a fit brain is the foundation for a healthy life: neurological consequences aren’t immediate – but they’re preventable. As Head of Clinical Unit at Cecilia Makiwane Hospital and Senior Lecturer at Walter Sisulu University, he’s witnessed how simple daily choices impact our future neurological health, much like how consistent fitness habits prevent physical decline years before symptoms appear.
Unlike traditional approaches that treat symptoms, Dr. Thungana takes a proactive approach by empowering you with the knowledge to protect your mental wellness. His unique combination of cutting-edge neuropsychiatric expertise and compassionate care means you’re not just getting treatment – you’re getting the tools to thrive.
“The decisions we make today shape our neurological tomorrow. I’m here to help you make them count.”
