UC San Diego Professor of Psychiatry and Director of the Women's Mood Disorders Clinic, Barbara L. Parry MD practices from 225 Dickinson St, the UCSD Outpatient Psychiatric Services building in Hillcrest's 92103 medical district, where she has held faculty appointment since joining UCSD in 1985. With her MD from the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine (1978), UCLA psychiatry residency and internal medicine internship, and a 1982-1985 Clinical Psychobiology research fellowship at the National Institute of Mental Health, Parry anchors an academic-tier research practice distinct from the outpatient private-practice model operated by Dr. Kai MacDonald - Psychiatrist/Psychotherapist. Wheelchair-accessible entry, parking, and restrooms support patients attending scheduled outpatient psychiatric visits at the Dickinson Street building. Parry served on the American Psychiatric Association's DSM-III-R and DSM-IV committees that developed diagnostic criteria for Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), work that puts her research practice in a different clinical tier from independent outpatient psychiatric offices including Advanced Psychiatry Associates on the Hillcrest mental health corridor. Her NIH-funded clinical research focuses on the chronobiology of women's mood disorders across the reproductive cycle — PMDD, pregnancy and postpartum depression, and menopausal depression — with more than 285 published papers in journals including the American Journal of Psychiatry, the Journal of Biological Rhythms, and Archives of Women's Mental Health. The Women's Mood Disorders Clinic's Sleep and Light Intervention (SALI) protocol treats antepartum, postpartum, and menopausal depression through precisely-timed sleep scheduling and bright-light exposure rather than pharmacotherapy — a non-drug chronobiologic treatment approach built on four decades of melatonin, sleep-deprivation, and circadian-rhythm research since Parry's 1982 NIMH fellowship.
