Dear friends,​

I am proud to introduce our amazing clinical team.​ A caring, dedicated and expert team in the treatment of bipolar disorders, depression and related mood and personality disorders.​

Our team motto is "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts", a gestalt phrase, which over the years has proved true for our team.​ On every difficult problem we are called to work with, and every year we learn that our team work not only is necessary but it also provides a level of care that can never be matched by any one of us alone.

We face the difficulties of treating severe mood disorders with great humility but we also take pride in the great outcomes of our work.​ What's missing from this page, which is also an integral part of our team is our very own patients. We consider and our patients the most important members of our team, and we do the best we can to help them achieve all they ever wanted in life.

Her treatment was electroshock therapy.
Stephen Fry
Stephen John Fry (born 24 August 1957) is an English actor, broadcaster, comedian, director and writer.Fry has spoken publicly about his experience with the condition, which was depicted in the documentary Stephen Fry: The Secret Life of the Manic Depressive.

He is involved with the mental health charity Stand to Reason and is president of Mind.
Curt Cobain
The grunge rocker took his own life at age 27 despite the success of his Seattle-based band, Nirvana. Noting that one of the band’s songs is titled “Lithium,” which is also a mood stabilizer used in the treatment of bipolar disorder, Time magazine included him in a 2002 list of “manic geniuses” who made great contributions to music, art, or literature and who may have had bipolar disorder.
Katherine Zeta Jones
This Welsh-born star won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in Chicago and a Tony Award for her onstage work. She's also been nominated for several Golden Globes. Married to Michael Douglas since 2000, stress during his battle with tongue cancer led to depression and a diagnosis of bipolar disorder.
Ted Terner (CNN)
The founder of Turner Broadcasting and CNN has spent much of his life battling bipolar disorder and depression. Despite that, Turner took a small independent television station in Atlanta and turned it into a global media conglomerate. At one point, he owned the Atlanta Braves and Hawks, and won the America’s Cup.
Kay Redfield Jamison
Kay Redfield Jamison (born June 22, 1946) is an American clinical psychologist and writer. Her work has centered on bipolar disorder, which she has had since her early adulthood. She holds the post of the Dalio Professor in Mood Disorders and Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and is an Honorary Professor of English at the University of St Andrews.
George Malliaris
George Malliaris is the reason BipolarLab and the Hellenic Bipolar Organisation came to life. He was an English Philologist and scholar of Lord Byron, a firm believer in patient-centered mental health, and above all an amazingly loving and caring father. His children (Dr Yanni Malliaris and his sister) will remember and honour his name and legacy for as long as they can. He suffered from a severe form of Bipolar I disorder for at least 25 years of his living life. His story remains to be told.
Marilyn Monroe
Many of the questions surrounding the actress’s life and death are still unanswered—and are likely to remain that way. But Marilyn Monroe: The Final Days, a 2001 documentary, shed some light on her drug use and mental health. “We knew that she was a manic depressive,” Monroe’s physician, Hyman Engelberg, MD, says in the film. “That always meant that there were emotional problems and that she could have big swings in her moods.”
Winston Churchill
Widely regarded as one of the greatest leaders of the 20th century, Winston Churchill is believed to have suffered from bipolar disorder. After observing numerous symptoms such as depression, suicidal intention, mania, and a decreased need for sleep, Churchill’s doctor, Lord Moran, recounted in his memoir Winston Churchill: The Struggle for Survival, that he had diagnosed a middle-aged Churchill with bipolar disorder.
Ernest Hemingway
This Nobel Prize-winning author was prone to manic-depressive behavior throughout his life, a family trait shared by his parents, his son, and his granddaughter Margaux. Despite his larger-than-life personality and novels like A Farewell to Arms and For Whom The Bell Tolls, Hemingway had bouts of depression and paranoia. Obsessed with death, he eventually shot himself in the head in 1961.
Sinnead O'Connor
The pop star of the eighties and nineties, notorious for her shaved head, openly discussed her mental illness on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2007. She said she was diagnosed as bipolar at age 37, after a suicide attempt on her 33rd birthday. O’Connor told Winfrey at the time of the interview that she now takes antidepressants and mood stabilizers. “Anything is an improvement when you've been in desolation,” O’Connor told Winfrey of the meds, but “it doesn't mean you don't have lumps and bumps."
Lord Byron
Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison wrote in her book Touched With Fire: Manic-Depressive Illness and the Artistic Temperament, she said “Symptoms consistent with mania, depression, and mixed states are evident in the descriptions of Byron given by his physicians, friends, and Byron himself. His mood fluctuations were extreme, ranging from the suicidally melancholic to the irritable, volatile, violent, and expansive. ‘’ Lady Caroline Lamb famously described Lord Byron as ''mad, bad and dangerous to know''
