At Our Office, We Stay Current With The Science

There has been an explosion in new medicines for a variety of concerns in recent years.

There are now medications for fibromyalgia (lyrica), chronic fatigue (provigil), and a whole host of new medications for other concerns:

• Depression (more than two dozen new medicines)

• Bipolar Affective Disorder (more than a dozen new medicines)

• Panic Disorder (more than a dozen new medicines)

• Alcohol Dependence (antabuse, campral, revia)

• Nicotine Dependence (chantix)

• Borderline Personality Disorder (dialectic behavior  therapy and several new medicines)

Increasingly my own medical journals have gone beyond medical research alone and tapped in to an enormous base of hundreds of scientific journals  in the new field of brain science.  A leader in this field is the psychiatrist Eric Kanfield, winner of the Nobel Prize for his work in this field, defining the molecular basis of learning in neurons in the central nervous system.

You, as a result, will benefit from my readling in these fields.  I have many articles copied on my computer as well on paper in my office for your perusal.

These include articles from well respected peer-reviewed journals in science, such as:

• Archives of General Psychiatry

• American Journal of Psychiatry

• Journal of the American Psychiatric Association

• National Institutes of Mental Health

• Natural History

• Neuropsychopharmacology

• Biological Psychiatry

• Nature Medicine

• Journal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience

• Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

• The Journal of Neuroscience

• Clinical Practice and Epidemiology in Mental Health

• American Family Physician

• Archives of Internal Medicine

• The New England Journal of Medicine

• Molecular Psychiatry

• Neurobiology

• Annual Reviews of Neuroscience

• Journal of American Medical Association

• Psychiatric Annals

• Science

Are you beginning to get a picture of the explosion of information about how the brain works?

You don’t have to read these journals.  I have!  I’ll simply share with you the  “nuggets of gold” of information relevant to your care.  If you want to read some summaries of new science, I can refer you to web sites I’ve personally visited and found to have accurate information.
