David Baldes MD | Psychiatrist

I'm David Baldes, MD, a board-certified psychiatrist (ABPN) in Duluth, Minnesota. On this channel I share calm, plain-language mental health education on mood, anxiety, medications, treatment-resistant depression, substance use, trauma-informed care, and what the latest health headlines get right and wrong.

My aim is simple: calm, clear education that helps you feel more informed and better prepared to talk with your own clinicians.

I believe good care brings two kinds of expertise together. You are the world's leading expert on how you feel. I bring expertise in making sense of the whole picture, and in how to treat it.

New videos every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Educational content only, not medical advice. Watching does not create a doctor-patient relationship. Please talk with your own clinician about your care.

If you are in crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or call 911.
