Motto:The best way to keep your word is not to give it too lightly.
Spencer Thompson, M.D., is a Health Sciences Clinical Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Duke University Medical Center. His career has been dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for individuals dealing with severe mental health challenges such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder, along with those facing substance misuse issues.
Based in Durham, North Carolina, Spencer's work extends beyond the clinical setting, where he primarily treats patients with complex psychiatric needs. He has developed a keen interest in exploring the fine line between what society considers normal behavior and psychopathology, questioning how everyday stresses can impact one's mental state. In his latest project, Mind Unveiled, Spencer synthesizes insights from psychiatry, cognitive science, psychology, and evidence-based practices to tackle current discussions on mental wellness, behavioral patterns, and the formation of societal beliefs—both mainstream and fringe.
Launched in early 2024, Mind Unveiled has quickly become a go-to resource for professionals and laypeople alike, offering a fresh perspective on understanding the human mind and its intricacies. Through engaging talks and writings, Spencer encourages open conversations about mental health, advocating for an approach that integrates compassionate care with cutting-edge research.
