Personalized medicine is an approach to disease prevention and treatment that takes into account differences in people’s genes, environments and lifestyles. This approach can also be adapted to psychiatry. Anchorage Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist Dr Aryeh Levenson is the guest and the discussion will focus on personalized approaches to psychiatric disorders.
HOST: Dr. Thad Woodard
GUESTS:
- Aryeh Levenson, MD of Bridges Counseling Center, Anchorage, Alaska. His career in medicine began in 1984 at Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston, then on to a general psychiatric residency, continuing on to a child and adolescent psychiatric fellowship at University of Maryland Medical Systems in Baltimore. His private practice is solidly based in modern western 21st century medicine, but with a great respect and thoughtful consideration for nontraditional approaches to improve mental health.
