About

Russell Lim, MD practices psychiatry in Chula Vista through Mindpath Health's Tierra Del Rey office, holding board certification from the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and a medical degree from UC San Diego School of Medicine (1990). His clinical scope covers anxiety, ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, and sleep disorders — pharmacological management of which sometimes requires cardiac monitoring coordination with providers such as Cardiovascular Institute of San Diego to track QTc interval changes from psychotropic medications. Residency training at UC San Francisco Medical Center and subspecialty work in child and adolescent psychiatry extend his prescribing competence from pediatric ADHD stimulant protocols through adult mood stabilizer regimens. The Mindpath Health platform integrates his psychiatric evaluations with on-site therapy services, allowing coordinated treatment plans where medication management and psychotherapy run in parallel under a single organizational structure. Prescription workflows route through community dispensaries including Chula Vista Pharmacy, where local fill-and-verify cycles support his titration schedules for controlled substances requiring close dosage monitoring. Complex cases involve polypharmacy management across two or more psychotropic classes — combining selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors with atypical antipsychotics or mood stabilizers — with serum-level monitoring and hepatic function panels conducted at 90-day intervals.
