Services
Treatment begins with an evaluation that lasts one hour.
Treatment is based upon the evaluation, because the response to each available treatment can be predicted based upon the patient's symptom profile and response to prior treatments.
The evaluation consists of hundreds of questions which reveal the individual symptoms and pattern of symptoms which are the hallmarks of illness and predict treatment response.
The questions cover the current episode as well as prior episodes in order to understand how the illness manifests itself in the individual patient.
Dr. Rubin specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of treatment-resistant depression and bipolar disorder.
He utilizes the techniques learned as the Chief Resident of the Yale Research Center, and refined through twenty years experience supervising Columbia University psychiatry residents in diagnosis and treatment, and thirty years of clinical experience.
Treatment begins with an initial evaluation, lasting one hour, in which symptoms, prior treatments and aspects of the patient's family and developmental history are explored.
If you have the symptoms of persistent sadness and inability to enjoy yourself, loss of ability to socialize and loss of interest in your usual activities, an antidepressant is likely to help.
People begin to see improvement by three weeks provided that they are on the right medication at the right dose.
For most patients, the starting dose is not the most effective dose for complete improvement.
If you have the hallmark symptoms of biologic depression, the odds are 70% that you will begin to respond by three weeks.
