Shawna Deeves, MD (Psychiatrist in private practice, San Antonio, Texas, USA)
“Simple and Practical is the best resource for any psychiatric provider or graduate student. I first discovered Simple and Practical during my graduate education at Duke University. Simple and Practical is my go-to resource for all things psych because the information is first and foremost evidenced-based, accurate, and referenced. The information, clinical pearls, and nuggets of wisdom are also succinct, relevant, invaluable, simple, and to the point. As a new PMHNP graduate, Simple and Practical has provided me with so much wisdom and helped me to advance my knowledge and gain the confidence I need entering into practice. This is a must-have resource and the most valuable resource you will want or need at a price that is so affordable and well worth it. The daily emails are an absolute must and a highlight to my inbox. The emails provide bite-size, easily digestible, and very important topics that help to bring knowledge together with patient care to improve clinical practice and outcomes. This is truly the only resource you will ever need.”
Lori Kistler, MSN, PMHNP-BC, Charlotte Metro Area, North Carolina

Zev Wiener, MD (Psychiatrist at the UCLA Center for Integrative Oncology)
“I love Simple and Practical because I genuinely believe it makes me a better, more careful, more efficient doctor. I refer frequently to the daily emails or the site for practical information like the rate of seizures from Wellbutrin at various doses (many patients ask me for specific numbers on this) and resources like patient education handouts on managing specific side effects and pages for educating patients about what side effects are likely from a given drug. The expert interviews on real-life topics like getting better results in bipolar disorder or how to use bright light therapy are high yield as well. There is a wealth of information on his site, I have barely scratched the surface in this review. Membership has been extremely useful to me.” —
Sarah O’Neil, MD. (Adult & Child Psychiatrist. Instructor of Psychiatry, Part-Time, Harvard Medical School. Associate Psychiatrist, McLean Hospital, Belmont, Massachusetts, USA).
“It is impossible for practicing psychiatrists to keep up with the overwhelming amount of research of varying quality produced on a daily basis. That is why the concise and critical bits of information provided on Simple and Practical Mental Health are so valuable. Basing findings on scientific and clinically-oriented evidence, Dr. Mago filters through the literature to provide well-informed pearls of information directly applicable to real-world patient care situations. Besides appreciating the archive of answers to everyday questions on the website, I learn something new every day!”

“Thanks for putting together a great website for frontline clinicians that just want the pearls simple and quick!

I am spreading the word amongst my colleagues at Kaiser Permanente.”
Scott Steiglitz MD (Santa Clarita, California, USA).
“Not sure if some of you have discovered this already, but I have found it interesting and helpful. Dr. Raj Mago, at the University of PA and in private practice in Philadelphia, has created a website devoted to enhancing clinician’s use of medications. One has access to a wealth of written information on the website, as well as video interviews. But what I find the coolest is that each morning, 365 days a year, he sends out a clinical psychopharm email pearl that takes about three minutes to read, and darn if it’s not something I was not aware of most of the time. Not the massively comprehensive stuff of Stephen Stahl’s website, but as Dr. Mago says, ‘Simple and Practical'”

“I feel compelled to write a review and spread the word today because a question I asked regarding a patient’s adverse effect was answered in such a detailed, well-referenced, and useful way by the incredible educator Dr. Mago. For a pittance, you get a daily well-researched “tip” about an advanced psychopharmacology topic (with references). It is the most valuable psychopharmacology resource I have access to. I feel grateful for access to the community providing “just in time” answers and valuable, unbiased education.”

“To get answers to difficult clinical questions I had to spend hours, if not days, going through research papers. The complex statistical concepts they talked about were hard to understand. Still, sometimes, I couldn’t get my answers.

I meant to leave this comment as a review. I subscribed recently and have been reading the daily email since. I have not seen a single email that was not relevant and very informative. This is a great resource. I look forward to reading the emails every day. Thank you.
Thank you, Dr. Sadek, for becoming a Member and for your kind words of encouragement!
S&P is the best pharmacology resource I know. For years, I read Alan Gelenberg’s Biological Therapies in Psychiatry. After he retired, I could not find anything comparable to replace it. Has Dr Mago given thought to how his invaluable service might continue into the future?
hi,
the more i read simple practicle the more i love it. He is like the Peter Attia of Mental Health. For example, when I have a question on constipation from a patient – reading the recent article on constipation was AMAZING..It was not just take colace. It was soo informative it made my patient truly feel happy in my care.

I enjoy waking up to an email that will educate me and benefit me in my career. thank you so much for this website!
Dr Mago makes complicated matters simple
Dr. Raj and his “Simple and Practical” has been the best investment I have made since starting my career as a PMHNP. It is affordable but I tell everyone I know “It is worth millions”. I can provide better care to may patients and the information I need is quickly available. If I it isn’t available Dr. Raj is on it. I never have to worry because he is always there to help. I truly value all that you do!!!! Thank you for helping me to become a better practitioner.
Hats off to you, Dr. Mago! Brilliant!
“Simple and practical” just doesn’t do justice to how much “need-to-know” evidence is covered.
Indebted to you way more than the ridiculously inexpensive subscription. Thank you.

Thank you to Dr. Rajnish Mago for this wonderful and original way to stay up to date in psychopharmacology. We have daily answers based on sound scientific grounds, easy to read, and clinically oriented, to precise questions we can ask ourselves in the everyday clinical work. It’s really a nice and very useful way to learn more daily! I would say a must for all doctors working in psychiatry.
Joanne Baillargeon, MD (Psychiatrist in private practice, Montreal, Canada)
Wow! I had no idea what I was missing. I look forward to my psychopharm lesson each day — and have already gathered many pearls that have tweaked my practice pattern. I’ve been getting Simple and Practical for about 3 months now, and have told so many colleagues about it. It is a must have!
I am a psychiatrist and enjoy reading. your insightful emails every day.

Practical, educational and fosters curiosity and enjoyment of practicing psychopharmacology
Thanks, Dr. Hawkins!!
Raj
A few different collegues told me about how amazing this website/resource was at different points. I always thought about getting it but never really got around to subscribing until this year. I could not be more thrilled that I got it and wish I had found it sooner! It is the perfect, bite-size amount of daily information and so practical and relevant! This is the best resource I have found so far for my outpatient psychiatry practice. I save all the emails in my gmail and go back to them when I encounter certain tricky issues in my practice. Dr. Mago seems SO intelligent and makes the information so easy to understand. I use all the “side effects” handouts, references to the Indiana enzyme table, and occasionally even write in with questions (which are always answered very promptly and to my satisfaction.) I am so grateful that Dr. Mago took the time to create this website for such a nominal fee to us and would recommend hands-down it to any psychiatrist. I am SO glad my collegues clued me in!
Great tips! Useful and easy to digest. Highly recommended.
Thanks, Dr. Villagomez!
I find Simpleandpractical a valuable source for my ongoing / daily clinical knowlege. Over the years of have developed an aversion for reading long articles to get couple useful points relevant to my practice. Simpleandpractical provides that couple points in a fraction of time. Thank you.Mahmood Jahromi
Thanks so much, Dr. Jahromi, for your encouragement!
“Simple and Practical” puts me in the midst of a well informed community that shows up to work with me everyday with discerning questions and carefully supported discussions. My medical management knowledge has grown exponentially and my patients have benefited because of “Simple and Practical.” This forum is indispensable and priceless. Happy 730th Day!
Awesome! You made my day, Dr. Meisamy.
Congratulations Dr. Mago on now having shared 500 teaching vignettes which I believe have benefited all of us in clinical practice every day!
I encounter a wide range of CME like my colleagues but yours is clearly the most helpful as well as digestible in its format. It contributes greatly to both maintaining and extending my clinical knowledge. I imagine it must be very challenging to produce the volume of high quality educational content you do and like my colleagues I commend your efforts.

In fact I look forward to these emails every morning.
I think there is something there for everyone.
For trainees and young psychiatrists, Dr. Mago offers simple albeit practical teaching points in bite size pieces.
For the others, it is refreshing, reviewing and sometimes even learning new material.
A great resource for everyone.
Kudos to Dr. Mago!

I look forward to the emails which arrive seamlessly. I particular like the fact that they are informative and too the point. A great resource ! Dr Miric – Psychiatrist (private practice – Johannesburg)
I find “Simple and Practical” a great and easy way to keep up with the latest psycho-pharmacological information. The tips Dr. Mago gives are very practical and easy to apply in your practice. I can’t recommend it enough. It’s easily worth twice the fee he charges.
It’s been so helpful to use on a daily basis. Love short and concise details with very educational material. As a child psychiatrist, this material has been extremely valuable though would appreciate a little more pediatric material.
