Dr. Lori Kumar, DNP, PMHNP-BC, APRN

Hello! I’m Dr. Lori Kumar, a doctorally prepared, board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with nearly a decade in behavioral health.

My clinical work focuses on complex mood and psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, across outpatient, inpatient, forensic, geriatric, substance-use, and interventional psychiatry settings.

On this channel, I unpack psychiatric medications, emerging treatments, clinical research, and real-world questions in serious mental illness.

You’ll find videos on psychopharmacology, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, long-acting injectable antipsychotics, new treatments, clinical research and conversations with experts in psychiatry and neuroscience.

I’m creator and host of Unpacking Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder with Dr. Lori Kumar, where I bring together evidence, clinical experience, and the patient perspective.

My goal is simple: make complex psychiatric information more useful in actual clinical practice.
