Episode 53: What if it's NOT Depression? With Dr. Achina Stein
Show Notes

Are you feeling unmotivated, less joyful, stressed out, or not feeling like yourself? Have you been told by your doctor that all of your symptoms are due to depression? Were you put on an antidepressant and noticed that it hasn't really helped? 

Guess what? It may not be depression! There are many other reasons you could be feeling the way you do, and unless your doctor is digging for the root cause then you might be getting misdiagnosed. 

Dr. Tabatha dissects this super important topic with Dr. Achina Stein, a fellow DO physician and brain health expert. You don't want to miss this episode!

Dr. Achina is an osteopathic physician who graduated from UMDNJ school of osteopathic medicine in 1990 and has been in practice as a board-certified psychiatrist for 25 plus years. Her osteopathic roots set her apart from the conventional psychiatrists because of her use of osteopathic philosophy and biopsychosocial treatment approach. Initially on a psychoanalytic track, she became well trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy and CBT and does psychotherapy with a number of people with underlying trauma issues, specifically mood and dissociative disorders. She has much experience using psychopharmacology working with the prison population, community mental health center with the chronic and persistent mental health population, and geriatric psychiatry inpatient population. She understood the limitations of treatment with medication and continually searched for other modalities of treatment. 

Propelled by her son’s health crisis in 2010, she found functional medicine which resolved all of his health problems as well as her own and since then, has been practicing functional medicine. She is certified by the American Board of Integrative and Holistic Medicine and is a certified practitioner of the Institute for Functional Medicine. 

Dr. Stein is a Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and awarded the Exemplary Psychiatrist Award by NAMI-RI in 2008. She has lived in RI since 2000 with her husband and three young adult children. 

She is presently in private practice in RI and co-owner of Functional Mind, LLC with nurse practitioner, Sally Davidson. This is an exciting time for her, as she recently launched her online health coaching program, HealthySelf Bootcamp, LLC to assist people from a distance to reach their health goals.
