Dr. Paul Corona

What Dr. talked about

Dr. Paul Corona discussed his approach to psychiatry, which treats mental health conditions as physical, brain-based problems rather than character flaws. He described using what he calls 'rational polypharmacy,' combining multiple medications more quickly than the standard SSRI-first protocol he was trained in, with the goal of restoring patients to a felt sense of self rather than just reducing symptoms.

He talked about how he defines full remission by asking patients to identify the happiest, least stressed period of their life as a benchmark for treatment. He also addressed how outward success and achievement, including among entrepreneurs, do not protect against depression, anxiety, or addiction, and touched on his experience self-publishing a book about his approach.
