Why “Symptom-Chasing” is Failing Your Patients
A 14-hour intensive on the science that actually drives high-level clinical decisions — recorded in 4K at the University of Miami.
Lifetime access • 9 chapters • 14+ hours of training
Move Beyond “Symptom-Chasing”
Conventional psychiatry teaches you to treat symptoms with pills. This course teaches you to treat the underlying biological disease—the way medicine was meant to be practiced.
The Foundation of Clinical Success
Your treatment is only as good as your understanding of the drug’s mechanism. Learn the exact scientific framework that drives every high-level clinical decision.
Evidence-Based, Not Marketing-Based
Cut through the pharmaceutical noise. Get the objective data on what actually works, why it works, and—more importantly—when to stop using it.
Inside the 14-Hour Intensive Course
A comprehensive curriculum divided into 9 core chapters, designed to take you from the absolute fundamentals of neurobiology to advanced diagnostic analysis.
1
Basic Neurobiology & Pharmacodynamics
Understand what drugs actually do, true half-lives, and the difference between treating symptoms vs. affecting the disease.
2
Anxiolytics
A rigorous look at what benzodiazepines actually do well, and what they fail to do.
3·4
Antipsychotics
A careful examination of clinical trial efficacy in schizophrenia and mood illnesses, paired with a scientifically accurate look at safety and risks.
5·6
Mood Stabilizers & Nosology
The hard evidence behind lithium, valproate, and lamotrigine, and how standard DSM categories mislead us in diagnosing manic-depressive illness.
7
Antidepressants
Two full sections breaking down clinical trials, maintenance data, and the honest limitations of these drugs.
8·9
Amphetamines & ADHD
A critical look at stimulant treatments and the deeper diagnostic question of whether ADHD is a valid construct.
