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.
