About Dr JJ
Story of Dr Jeremy johnson
Who is Dr JJ?
Jeremy is a psychiatrist who also trained as a psychologist, and astrophysicist. Although born in Canada, he completed a Bachelor of Medicine & Bachelor of Surgery at the University of Queensland.
Prior to emigrating to Australia he completed a degree in Astrophysics at the University of Calgary. Despite being passionately involved in this area, and about to begin a Master’s degree, he had an epiphany that combining psychiatry with his knowledge of astrophysics was his true calling. As a stepping stone, and or completeness, he chose to undertake a Psychology degree. This further fuelled his inspiration to pursue a medical degree.
As a psychiatrist, Jeremy calls upon all of his knowledge of the mind, the universe, and everything he has learned in between, in order to help people optimise their mental and physical health.
