Hi, I'm Dr. David Baldes, I'm a board-certified psychiatrist in Duluth, Minnesota. On this channel I explain mental health in plain language, mood, anxiety, medications, depression that hasn't responded to treatment, substance use, and the mental health headlines that make you wonder what's actually true.
Here's how I think about care. You are the world's leading expert on how you feel. My job as a psychiatrist is to help make sense of it and find out what helps you meet your goals. That's shared expertise and it works best when we're both honest, open-minded, and willing to try.
New videos come out every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. They're calm and clear with no hype.
One important note, these videos are for education, not medical advice. If you're in crisis, call or text 988 or call 911.
