Testimonials

I just wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your online course on Psychopharmacology and Advanced Diagnosis. Your expertise, insights, and teaching style are inspiring and have left a profound impact on me.

The emphasis on the limitations of the DSM, hierarchies of diagnosis, and affective illnesses have been substantial for me in my medical practice. Patients are living better, using correct medication, after years on unnecessary monoamine agonists. The concepts of temperaments are a game changer.

I have already recommended your course to my colleagues, and I plan to purchase your lectures on the History of Psychiatry soon.

I use and reference your books with patients and students frequently. I really look forward to the classes and have been grateful for the impact you’ve had on my thinking and my practice with patients.

SP

Your courses are a true gift. The published and validated information in his courses is sorely lacking in many, if not most, CME courses in our field. The breadth of his knowledge across many disciplines is prodigious.
H.Y.

Learning from Dr. Ghaemi’s work has had a profound, positive impact in how I treat and teach about psychiatric care. I also can’t recommend his webinar courses strongly enough. Not to sound too hokey but his work has revitalized my love for the subject of psychopharmacology!
RD

This is an invaluable resource for psychiatric -mental health clinicians, medicine, nursing and allied health and also for those who endure a difficult life bereft of your wisdom and knowledge. Your dedication to the health and welfare of patients and clinicians is laudable.

Finally, someone is thinking outside of the DSM.

I used your textbook for our Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner students last summer for their Psychopharmacology course. They really enjoyed your book and found the material accessible and relatable.
