Welcome
Dr. Ronald Fieve is a leading psychopharmacologist in the treatment of Mood Disorders. He and his team specialize in the differential diagnosis of Bipolar I and II Disorders, Clinical Depression, Panic and Anxiety; as well as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

No longer are most depressions treated with long and expensive courses of psychotherapy. Physicians known as psychopharmacologists are experts in using medications to treat psychiatric chemical imbalances. The newest antidepressants developed over the last two decades have helped patients and their families avoid untold weeks and years of hospitalization, divorce, difficulty on the job and untold emotional suffering. Surprisingly, some mood disorders can at times be highly beneficial. In Dr. Fieve’s book Moodswing, he describes that throughout history, as well as in today’s society, there are many highly productive and creative individuals who also suffer from the milder forms of Bipolar disorder (Bipolar II). With the advancements in the psychopharmacology of mood disorders, today the outlook with treatment is quite promising for a patient suffering from bipolar disorder, depression or anxiety. Treatments are currently available to help manage the symptoms of most mood disorders so that no one needs to live with depression.
