Dr. Wayne's PsyWeb Wayne F. Phillips, M.D., Ph.D.

This site was originally designed as a summary of and supplement to information I routinely provide to patients in my practice. However, I would like it to be of use to anyone wanting basic information about psychiatric illness, diagnosis, treatment and medications. It is also meant to provide a few links to some of the other excellent, comprehensive, and varied WWW resources on mental health, psychiatry and psychopharmacology.
