Robert B Cowan MD

As a psychiatrist in the Denver area, I have been in practice since 1982 in a role that includes psychotherapy for individuals, couples and families; medication management and consultation.In addition, I have been an inpatient medical director, department chairman, teacher and supervisor. I have worked in the areas of geriatrics and developmental disabilities as well as major mental illness with a focus on eliminating and/or reducing excessive or unnecessary medications.As a Denver area psychiatrist, I focus on the clinical areas of Anxiety, Attention Deficit Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Cognitive Disorders, Developmental Disabilities, Depression, Psychosis, Relationship issues, Sexual concerns, Work concerns, and Weight Gain secondary to psychotropic medications. A number of agents are associated with increased appetite, weight gain and metabolic disturbance.I have been a coach and teacher through most of my life so I bring that orientation to my practice.
