I’m joined by Dr. Achina Stein, a functional medicine doctor and psychiatrist, to talk about all the other possible contributing factors to your anxiety and depression.

About Dr. Achina Stein

Dr. Achina Stein is the author of What If It's NOT Depression? Your Guide to Finding Answers and Solutions. 

She is a board-certified psychiatrist and has been in practice for 25-plus years. Propelled by her son’s health crisis in 2010, she found functional medicine which resolved all his mental health problems as well as her own. She has a busy private practice called Functional Mind LLC in Riverside, RI where she sees patients for functional medicine primarily but also sees patients for psychotherapy. 

She is a certified practitioner of the Institute for Functional Medicine, a Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, and was awarded the Exemplary Psychiatrist Award by NAMI-RI in 2008. 

She is a former Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University. 

Dr. Stein has a companion program to her book called What If It’s Not Depression?, a bootcamp to provide an alternative to medication for people with chronic mild depression-like symptoms that do not respond to antidepressant medications and will be offering an SSRI tapering course soon. She enjoys playing ultimate frisbee, singing, and gardening.
