I practice medicine because I believe that mental health is the foundation of a meaningful life. When people suffer psychologically, it touches every part of their existence—from relationships to work to the simple ability to feel joy. Because it can be so difficult for people who are suffering to find good mental health care, my mission has been to expand access through technology, so that no one is left behind.
I like to write in my spare time. I’ve written two nonfiction titles, Spellbound: Modern Science, Ancient Magic, and the Hidden Potential of the Unconscious Mind and the international bestseller, The Molecule of More: How a Single Chemical in Your Brain Drives Love, Sex, and Creativity--and Will Determine the Fate of the Human Race
