I do virtual consultations for children and adults with difficult-to-treat mood and anxiety disorders, especially unipolar depression and bipolar disorder. After reviewing your history, current and past medications, I will make a series of suggestions along with back up options in case the first things do not work out well enough for you. I will send this in a detailed email back to you so you can share it with and put it into action with your treating physician.
I worked at the NIMH for 36 years running a research unit for treatment refractory mood disorder and wrote a book called "Treatment of Bipolar Illness: A casebook for clinicians and patients" published by WW Norton, Inc. 2008. For the past 20 years, I have written a free newsletter available at www.bipolarnews.or
Dr. Post has committed his career, including 35 years at the NIMH, 20 of those as Chief of the Biological Psychiatry Branch, to bettering the understanding and treatment of treatment-resistant depression and bipolar illness. Dr. Post helped pioneer the use of the anticonvulsant carbamazepine as treatment for lithium-resistant patients with bipolar disorder.
