What Our Students Say

“This course was one of the best Psychiatry Redefined Courses offered by Dr. Greenblatt. The wealth of information presented is extensive and I have a very fat binder in which to organize it for future reference! I consider this course to be up there with the best courses of my career.”

Juliana N.

“Good, concise. Excellent synopsis of micro/macronutrients to consider.”

Sonya M.

“This was so helpful. It will be important to begin to use this knowledge to help patients with ADHD address their unique symptoms and biochemistry in a comprehensive way vs. medication management only.”

Paula A.

“Excellent presentation of material. Excellent review of material much of which is not generally known or practiced. Finally Focused has been an excellent primer for me.”
