Nassir Ghaemi (born 1966) is an academic psychiatrist, author, and Professor of Psychiatry at Tufts University School of Medicine and Lecturer on Psychiatry at Harvard Medical SchoolinBoston. He has written several books on mental illness and mood disorders, and has contributed to many scientific journals and other published works.
