> Small world moment today. I take a meditation class and several of my friends in the class are therapists and they know about my struggles with depression, meds, and trying to find a good pdoc. One of them today said, "I know a very good psychopharmacologist in Bryn Mawr. I used to work with him for years. His name is Steve Weinstein." Right away I thought of your post, and knew your pdoc was Steve W. but couldn't remember the last name. Of course it turns out to be the same guy! Seems like a good omen.That's pretty funny. It's funny too that you were in a meditation class because, although steve is obviously jewish (hence the name, weinstein) he seems like such a buddhist type peaceful guy. I took a meditation class once down in the city at the Shambhala Center.

The link the guy above posted was the one I was talking about.
