Cory Weissman

Dr. Weissman has strong clinical and research interests in interventional psychiatry. He serves as an associate professor and the medical director of interventional psychiatry at UC San Diego within the interventional psychiatry clinic. His current research focus is on the development of novel treatments for suicidality in patients with severe mental illness. He has published on the use of rTMS and MST for patients with treatment-resistant major depressive disorder (TRD) and co-morbid suicidality.

Dr. Weissman is also excited about the promise of psychedelic compounds and other interventional pharmacologic agents as psychiatric treatments. He has published on the potential role of psychedelics as treatments for suicidality, and hopes to continue this line of work within the UC San Diego interventional psychiatry program.
