Expert Testimony for Pharmaceutical & Toxic Exposure Cases
Direct Answer
Dr. Lodhi provides forensic neuropsychiatric expert opinions in cases involving psychotropic medication adverse effects, neurotoxic chemical exposure, and pharmaceutical product liability. His dual fellowship training at Stanford (forensic psychiatry + neuropsychiatry) provides the neuropsychiatric framework to connect specific pharmacological or toxic exposures to documented brain-behavior changes, a causation analysis that requires understanding both the neuroscience of the exposure mechanism and the psychiatric presentation of the resulting injury.
Pharmaceutical Adverse Effects
Dr. Lodhi provides expert opinions on neuropsychiatric adverse effects of psychotropic and other medications, including SSRI-induced suicidality and emotional blunting, antipsychotic-related tardive dyskinesia and metabolic syndrome, benzodiazepine cognitive impairment and paradoxical reactions, lithium neurotoxicity, stimulant-related cardiovascular and psychiatric complications, and polypharmacy-related cognitive decline. His active clinical prescribing practice strengthens testimony by demonstrating current, real-world pharmacological expertise.
Neurotoxic Exposure
Cases involving neurotoxic exposure (lead, organic solvents, carbon monoxide, mold-related mycotoxins, pesticides) require an expert who can connect the exposure to documented neurocognitive and neuropsychiatric consequences. Dr. Lodhi's neuropsychiatry training provides the specialized knowledge to evaluate neurotoxic injury mechanisms, differentiate toxic encephalopathy from other conditions, and render causation opinions supported by neuroimaging findings and neurocognitive data.
