Dr. Ramani's parents repeatedly explained to their daughter  that education was the most important thing  in her life in order to be respected and taken seriously . There was  no way around potential bias toward a young Indian woman regardless of the fact that she was born in the United States and  an American citizen.

The oldest of two daughters, Dr. Ramani took this responsibility very seriously and is now a very successful doctor concentrating on helping those exposed to Narcissistic behavior.

Because of her mother's experience, Dr. Ramani has accomplished all that she has.

Sai, Dr. Ramani's mother, was at the top of her high school class in India and  ready for admission to medical school when she was told to forget about medical school because you are going to get married and move to the United States.  An arranged marriage was way more important.  A woman, had to get married at that time because they weren't considered as valuable as a son.

Dr. Ramani's mother is not narcissistic, but Dr. Ramani has had direct experience with friends and others  who suffer from  narcissistic behavior.

She is the author of two books:

"Don't know Who I Am" & "Should I Stay Or Should I Go".

She has her own Youtube Channel-https://www.youtube.com/user/DoctorRamanDurvasula, been featured on  National TV,  a guest on Red Table Talk and cohost of the podcast "Sexual Disorientation".
