Understanding & Healing the Mind | Dr. Karl Deisseroth

Dr. Karl Deisseroth, MD, PhD, is a clinical psychiatrist and
scientist who directs a bioengineering research laboratory at
Stanford University School of Medicine. His work aims to understand
and develop treatments for disorders of the mind such as
depression, attention deficit disorders (ADHD & ADD), autism,
schizophrenia, anxiety, eating disorders, borderline personality
and obsessive-compulsive disorder. We discuss his experience
treating his patients and his laboratory’s mission to find and
develop cures for mental disease and tools for probing how the
brain works.  Read the full show notes for this episode at
