| 2012-07-31 | Cndy | Anxiety and BP 1 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | thank you once again for helping navigate this very difficult and frustrating process of trying to find the right medication with the least amount of side effects.

| 2012-07-31 | Joseph | Mental health and possible | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Dr. Goldberg's answers were very helpful to me. |
| 2012-06-22 | Joyce | Finding a good psychiatrist | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Dr. Ivan Goldberg is the best! He answers my questions quickly and clearly, and his expertise in treating mood disorders shows in every answer. Sometimes I feel that I am being a pain for asking so many follow-up questions. If I am, Dr. Ivan never lets me know it. He is always polite and helpful. Why he does all he does for others, I’m not sure. What I do know is that the world is a better place with him in it. Thank you Dr. Ivan for caring. |
| 2012-06-10 | Bruno | Anger | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you very much for those useful information. Now I am going to present this point of view to my psychiatrist (who sometimes shows stubborn attitudes toward my opinion, even when I carefully present my points and arguments. If she can't stand the fact the the patient opinion can be better than hers I will look for someone less insecure and proud. Of course I won't mention that I consulted you, because it could make things worse;-). |
| 2012-06-02 | Frances | Misdiagnosis | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | |
| 2012-05-31 | George | Bipolar Medication | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you Dr. Goldberg. I had not considered that possibility, but given what I know about myself it makes sense. My psychiatrist recommended seeing a therapist and specifically one who uses cognitive behavioral modalities. Looks like it's time to follow through with these reccommendations. |

| 2012-04-11 | Leigh | Bipolar Inquiry | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you, I will do My research on Lamictal (sp) and make sure to discuss that med with My Dr. (since I do have insurance again).
