Adult Mood Disorders Clinic
Find your care
We provide targeted care for pediatric, adult and geriatric patients. Call or to learn more about our psychiatry services.
Clinic Overview
The Mood Disorders Clinic specializes in the evaluation and treatment of mood disorders-bipolar disorder, major depression, dysthymic disorders. We provide evaluations, second opinions, consultations and ongoing psychopharmacological management of these disorders. Unfortunately, we do not provide psychotherapy but will help facilitate psychotherapy by therapists outside the clinic. The clinic is staffed by senior residents in psychiatry, Fellows (who have already finished their residency) and faculty. Patients seen by a resident will also be seen by a faculty member at every visit. Fellows see patients independently (i.e., without a faculty member). All care is reviewed by Dr. Michael Gitlin, Mood Disorders Clinic Director on a weekly basis. A number of research studies in mood disorders recruit from the Mood Disorders Clinic. However, participation in these studies is entirely voluntary and will not impact on any patient’s care in the clinic.
Who We See
We see patients aged 18 and older. Although we have some patients over 65, new patients over 65 would typically be referred to the Geriatric Psychiatry services.
