Depression can certainly be situational - in response to life changes and stressors (such as bereavement), but may also have a genetic basis and a course of its own. Most broadly, a depressive episode is a period of at least 2 weeks, during which someone may report a low mood, or loss of interest in activity or lack of pleasure.

My experience with Dr Dimitriu was outstanding! His ability to listen and understand my situation resulted in overcoming sleep difficulties that had been plaguing me for years. I felt like he really cared and was very easy to communicate from the start.

After suffering for months not sleeping and being in a manic state, Dr Dimitriu was recommended to me and after a wait for an appointment I went with eyes wide open. Caring staff took care of me getting my meds squared away and getting me on track with when best to take them and what meds I shouldn't be taking. Within a few days I was sleeping an additional hour per night until I was sleeping 9 hours per night. I also found out I had sleep apnea that I dealt with.
The attention I received from all staff proved caring and my needs were always put first. Dr Dimitriu and Lauren Varma are tops in

Dr. Dimitriu is a highly certified Psychiatrist and Sleep Medicine doctor. He's the only doctor who resolved my insomnia, depression and anxiety. He knew exactly what medications to put me on and they worked brilliantly. I've never been happier with any other doctor. Dr. Dimitriu is a wonderful listener. He's very caring and makes me feel proud of the progress I've made since I've been seeing him. I highly recommend Dr. Dimitriu. He ROCKS!

I came to California seeking medical help for an unknown, undiagnosed disease that I've been dealing with for 12+ years. My doctors at home had essentially given up on me and left me to fend for myself. There was no more empathy, no more concern. If they couldn't see it, it didn't exist. I will not get into details but I've lost 50 lbs. and a whole host of other daily problems. It was/is not a pleasant host of symptoms I deal with to put it mildly.
I had the FORTUNE to meet with Dr. Dimitriu earlier this week. The first thing that struck me was his extreme compassion, concern and how he immediately

I have worked with at least three different psychiatrists over the past 10 years, and feel so fortunate to have come to see Dr. Alex Dimitriu. Through his caring and knowledgeable approach, he has helped me do better than I have in many many years. He is a very informed and intelligent clinician with extensive knowledge of psychiatric medication. Beyond this, he is a very caring and compassionate doctor who goes above and beyond his clinical role. He has helped me tremendously, and I will forever be grateful.
