Dr. Varma’s One to One:
"When CUNY Television asked for
an expert on post traumatic stress,
Dr. Sudeepta Varma, Medical
Director of Bellevue’s World Trade
Center Mental Health Program, sat
down with journalist Sheryl
McCarthy to talk about mental
health concerns of people affected
by the events of 9/11.
According to Dr. Varma, one of the
frequent statements made by
patients treated by this mental
health team at the WTC clinic is
“September 11th changed my life. I
just haven’t been the same since.”
The WTC Mental Health program
is under the auspices of the WTC
Environmental Health Care
Center, a city-funded program
developed by Dr. Joan Reibman,
Medical Director of the program,
in conjunction with community
partners, aimed to address the
9/11 health issues of lower
Manhattan residents and workers.
The WTC program provides free
services to patients in a multitude
of languages. Although 9/11
impacted the city and nation as a
whole, this clinic is hard at work to
restore hope and optimism in
those affected the most."
