if you're that incompetent you don't deserve to know. Also why do you even want to know, what are you going to do with that information?

>My main specialty is biological psychiatry and psychopharmacology - but I'm a firm believer that this has to be done in the context of a good therapeutic relationship and holistic understanding of people's psychological and social situations. I try to stay up to date on the constantly-changing evidence for different medications and non-medication options.I'm especially interested in working with people with treatment-resistant depression. This can be a very challenging condition, but I think that with enough perseverance, willingness to try new things, and a tight feedback loop between psychiatrist and patient, there's a lot of potential to improve even the most difficult cases.I also work to guide people who are interested in integrative medicine like mindfulness and dietary supplements. These can run the gamut from 'completely useless' to 'basically proven', and it's important for doctors to be both open-minded enough to be able to talk about these with patients, and well-informed enough to give good advice about which ones are most likely to work. I look forward to working with anyone who thinks I can be of help to them.

>Before settling on medicine, I studied philosophy, taught elementary school, lived in Japan, and worked in a startup. I decided on psychiatry in part because of my own struggle with obsessive-compulsive disorder, and did my MD at University College Cork in Ireland and my residency at St. Mary Mercy Hospital in Michigan.

He's long winded, and he doesn't always come down on the SJW side of thing, and he is convinced that his approach to the world is the right one.

For our new stalinistic left-wing overlords, anything that falls out of direct line with 100% accepted thought must be awful, and the more reasonable it sounds the worse it is! CANCEL CANCEL CANCEL BEFORE WE ARE CANCELED OURSELVES!!!! is the general unconscious mindset.

He says rather basic things (see his own self-description written above) in annoyingly pretentious and longwinded ways. Some people are mad at him because he flirts with neoreactionary thought and "human biodiversity" but you'll have to draw your own judgments on that.

Stalin had artists sent to the Gulag for making works that didn't neatly fall into the style of soviet realism. That's all I mean when I say stalinist.

Wh.. why? He seemed like you ideal pretentious bougie liberal who bought into the general values of the system. Is it cause he tried to actually understand fringe right wing views and and make a counter argument rather than just insulting or ignoring them? Did they think someone in a polygamous relationship would secretly be a fascist...?

mainstream cultural drivers see his blog as an alternative source of influence, exemplified by its prescience on the c*vid story. As such, it is treated as a rival and steps must be taken to suppress or eliminate it.
