It seems that Dr. Joffe's career has
propelled into a higher level - he is now
Dean of Psychiatry at McMaster and a philanthropist has
left tons of money for neurological research
to the university -
I'm moving to Hamilton, LOL!I found some of his early article titles which
i suppose are the foundational works, but there
are so many that i suggest you just do a
Google search. His work is now applied to
ajunct depression therapy, autism, and
treatment resistant depression; so i think he
has left the theoretical side of the role
of endocrinology (to my disappointment)
and worked on the practical, incl. the use of
SSRIs such as Effexor, nutritional aspects,
light therapy, etc., for depression treatment:(btw, i actually got an e-mail from the renown
Dr. Mogens Schou, answering my question on
endocrinology, and saying that the hormones
in the brain also has a great role to play
in mental illness - i was deeply humbled that
he wrote to me and should have bronzed the
e-mail, well, maybe electro-plated);
