Dr. David Mischoulon is a psychiatrist at Massachusetts General Hospital and an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He also is a frequent speaker in Boston and around the country. His specific interests include alternative medical treatments and mental health in minorities. Dr. Mischoulon has even trained as a medical acupuncturist.
His passion for psychiatry is evident whether listening to him speak or having a casual conversation with him. In this series of videos, we worked with Dr. Mischoulon to address the most common questions related to anxiety and depression. We hope to have him back again for additional questions on Psychiatry.

Today we launched the eClinic.com Beta site. It is exciting to finally release the site to the public after so many hours of hard work. This is a site that grew out of an idea in medical school and slowly but steadily turned into eClinic.com.
We are grateful for all the help provided to us by advisors, physicians, and friends. The website was built by electric pulp, who did a fantastic job representing our vision of what a modern, personal health website should be.
We hope this launch is just the beginning for eClinic.com, as we have many ideas on how the website can continue to grow and improve the quality of people’s health.
We welcome your thoughts and suggestions, and we hope that eClinic.com will contribute to your health and well-being.
Sincerely,
David Buck
Founder, eClinic.com
The healthcare profession has lagged behind not only in healthcare IT but also in utilizing existing social technology to communicate with patients. The Internet has not waited for doctors to catch up. Rather than physicians establishing their own online identities, other parties such as rate-a-physician sites have done it for them.
Message boards and rate-a-physician sites have value but at best are incomplete and may give a skewed image. By showing transparently who they are, while at the same time providing information that personally connects with and helps others, doctors, through eClinic, can take control of their own online identity.
