Ruben Gagarin, MD

I'm Dr. Ruben Gagarin, a board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist and a lifelong movie buff. Movie characters teach me about the world, my patients, and myself.

On this channel I take the popular characters from new films, TV series and documentaries, and ask what's under the labels: why they do what they do, and what that says about us.

These are my opinions as a psychiatrist, not diagnoses or medical advice.
