My Three Shrinks
Summary: Three psychiatrists (with private practice, forensic, and consultation-liaison perspectives) from the Shrink Rap blog -- Dinah, Clinkshrink and Roy -- talk about topics related to psychiatry, mental illness, neurology & brain disease, while trying not to make it too boring. The blog and podcast are aimed at a psychiatrist audience, but are often interesting to a lay audience or other health professionals. Common topics are psychotherapy, depression & bipolar disorder, anxiety, antidepressants and other psychiatric medications or drugs, forensics, psychology, and patient rights. We also discuss fellow health care bloggers' recent posts.
