Estelle and Edgar Levi Memorial Chair in Aging at UC San Diego and Division Chief of Geriatric Psychiatry, Ellen E. Lee, MD practices from the UCSD outpatient psychiatric building at 410 Dickinson Street. Board-certified in both Psychiatry and Geriatric Psychiatry, she sees older adults with dementia-related behavioral disturbances, late-life mood and anxiety disorders, and psychotic illness, and her clinic coordinates closely with the inpatient and consultation services at UC San Diego Medical Center Internal Medicine Group Practice. Lee earned her MD at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine at Case Western Reserve, completed psychiatry residency at the University of Maryland and Sheppard Pratt, and finished her geriatric psychiatry fellowship at UCSD, the same fellowship she now directs as Program Director. Her research, funded by NIMH and the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation, focuses on the biological and psychosocial pathways linking sleep disturbance, loneliness, inflammatory markers, and cognitive decline in schizophrenia and healthy aging populations. Care plans for older patients regularly require coordination with internists managing diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and polypharmacy concerns, with referrals flowing in from internal medicine groups including Hillcrest Internal Medicine San Diego. The most complex cases involve early-onset behavioral-variant frontotemporal dementia patients whose presentation overlaps with late-onset psychosis, requiring sequential neurocognitive testing, structural imaging review, and antipsychotic titration calibrated to fall risk and metabolic vulnerability.
