As a psychiatrist with over 25 years of experience, one of my core clinical and research interests has been bipolar disorder. Previously known as manic depression, bipolar disorder causes extreme shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels that can significantly impair a person’s life. My goal is to increase public understanding of this complex mental health condition.
