The Accessible Psychiatry Project

Encouraging dialogue about psychiatry across media.

--Steven R. Daviss, M.D._­­

--Annette Hanson, M.D.

--Dinah Miller, M.D.

Mission Statement:

The Accessible Psychiatry Project strives to encourage dialogue about psychiatric disorders and their treatment in order to explore issues of controversy and misunderstanding in our field. Through open dialogue, in both new media and print, we hope to foster discussion about the work psychiatrists do, and to decrease stigma associated with the treatment of mental disorders.
