Occupation	Retired Physiologist/Biophysicist/Psychiatrist.
Location	New York, NY, United States
Introduction	I am a physiologist-biophysicist. In 1995 I became a hospital-based psychiatrist. I dedicated myself to study, understand and apply (as scientifically as possible) clinical psychiatry and psychopharmacology. In 2010 I retired from hospital practice. I left very discouraged by what I saw in the practice and teaching of Psychiatry.
