J. Raymond DePaulo, Jr., M.D.
Henry Phipps Professor and Chairman
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
Psychiatrist-in-Chief
Johns Hopkins Hospital

Dr. DePaulo is a widely recognized clinician, teacher and researcher in the area of mood disorders. The mood disorders program he founded at Johns Hopkins in 1977 includes both clinical services and multi-faceted research projects involving genetic, brain imaging, treatment and educational investigations of bipolar and unipolar disorders. His laboratory group is best known for defining a number of familial sub-types of bipolar disorder and was first to demonstrate the linkage of bipolar disorder to chromosome 18q.

Dr. DePaulo is devoted to advancing public understanding of mental illness. Since 1986, he has hosted a popular annual Johns Hopkins Mood Disorders Symposium for the general and professional public featuring the perspectives of clinicians, research leaders, patients and their family members. His publications include the book “Understanding Depression,” published in 2002.

A member of NARSAD’s Scientific Council since 1996, Dr. DePaulo received NARSAD’s Selo Prize for Outstanding Achievement in Depression Research in 1996 (re-named the Falcone Prize for Outstanding Achievement in Affective Disorders Research in 1999) and NARSAD Distinguished Investigator Awards in 1998 and 2003.
