Hi, I’m Jim Phelps — a psychiatrist with 30 years of experience, 20 of them focused on complex mood problems.
I have no financial interest in this site. It will not ask you for money, or your email, or try to sell you anything. Just providing information. I hope it will be of use to you and that you find an effective treatment soon.
I’ve been a member of the International Society for Bipolar Disorders for years and have helped write reviews on diagnosis and treatment for ISBD “Task Forces”. And I’ve published a couple of books about mood problems. You can look them up if you want to see more evidence that I know what I’m talking about.
Meanwhile, stay skeptical, that’s fine. Almost everything on this site is evidence-based, but I’ve chosen not to clutter this site with references (I did that on my old site). When I say something controversial, I’ve tried to indicate this and acknowledge other views.
Still curious? You can meet me, sort of, on my YouTube channel, which presents all the information on this website in a bunch of 5-10 minute videos.
