MD Psychiatrist | Cognitive-Behavioral Psychotherapist

About

As a psychiatrist and psychotherapist, I view the human mind as the ultimate complex system to understand. My approach bridges the scientific logic of precision medicine with the structured framework of cognitive-behavioral therapy, aiming to find tailored, effective answers for challenging clinical cases. Currently, I serve as a Staff Psychiatrist at ASST Lecco. I built my clinical and research foundation during my residency at the IRCCS San Gerardo dei Tintori Foundation in Monza , where I focused heavily on the management of Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD). This included the clinical application of advanced therapies like intranasal esketamine, alongside precision tools such as therapeutic drug monitoring and pharmacogenomic testing. My scientific and clinical interests remain centered on affective disorders, personalized medicine and the evolving landscape of psychedelic research. Outside the clinic, my mindset is continuously driven by logic, strategy, and digital communication: - Chess: FSI Chess Candidate Master (Current ELO: 2030). Competitive chess since childhood has honed my strategic problem-solving, long-term planning, and high-pressure decision-making skills. - Tech & Digital Media: Passionate about computer hardware and tech assembly. I founded a YouTube channel (30k+ subscribers) and a blog (10k+ monthly users) , which allowed me to master digital content management, multimedia software, and audience engagement. - Endurance & Strength Sports: Engaging in powerlifting, trail running, and obstacle course racing (OCR) fuels my personal discipline, resilience, and drive to push past complex boundaries. I thrive on clinical complexity, technological innovation, and strategic challenges. I am always open to connecting for scientific collaborations, professional networking, and forward-thinking initiatives at the intersection of mental health and digital innovation.
