I'm Dr. David Neubauer, and I'm delighted to have the opportunity to share with you my thoughts and opinions on a wide range of mental health topics, with a focus on sleep, depression, anxiety, psychosis, and the treatment of psychiatric illnesses. My hope is that you'll find here not just answers, but also ideas and strategies for living your life to the fullest.
I have worked in the fields of psychiatry and sleep medicine at Johns Hopkins for 20 years, but I've also pursued many other interests -- music, photography, filmmaking, astronomy, computer programming, and baking. I even have a master's degree in anthropology. I've found that having interests and activities away from medicine is both enjoyable and important for my own good mental health.
Through the years I've written numerous articles and book chapters on sleep topics. Recently I wrote a book called "Understanding Sleeplessness: Perspectives on Insomnia." I often lecture to community groups and to health care professionals, and I especially enjoy Q-and-A sessions. I welcome your comments and questions.
