Matthew Bernstein, MD - Figure 1

Title Slide

My name is Matt Bernstein. I'm a clinical psychiatrist and along with Dr. Scher, we are going to be presenting the evidence supporting ketogenic therapy for the treatment of serious mental illness. I have a position as the Chief Medical Officer at Ellenhorn, which is a psychosocial rehabilitation company. I'm also the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Medical Officer of Accord Mental Health, which is a residential program focusing on metabolic psychiatry, and I have a teaching appointment as a lecturer in psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Scher is going to be joining me at the end of this presentation for a brief discussion about some of the points that we made. I've been a full-time clinical psychiatrist for over 20 years, and I've worked in a range of diagnoses in multiple settings including inpatient, residential, and multiple levels of outpatient care. And as we know, clinical psychiatry is a blend of both science and art. I will try my best to let you know whether I'm speaking from a scientific perspective or from a clinical perspective during the course of this presentation.
