Overview

Before joining the faculty of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Johns Hopkins in 1996 I majored in intellectual history at University of Pennsylvania, completed medical school at University of California, San Diego, and did my psychiatry training and fellowship at Johns Hopkins. My main clinical interest is in the evaluation and treatment of patients with complex and treatment refractory depression and manic depressive illness. My major non-clinical interest is medical student teaching. I developed and run the first year course Brain Mind Behavior, which introduces students to psychiatry and behavioral science. Based on my experience as an educator and clinician, I have written and published two books: Trouble in Mind: An Unorthodox Introduction to Psychiatry (2011), and Still Down: What to Do When Antidepressants Fail (2016).

Dr. Mackinnon is highly rated in 2 conditions, according to our data. His top areas of expertise are Major Depression, Bipolar Disorder (BPD), and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

His clinical research consists of co-authoring 15 peer reviewed articles. MediFind looks at clinical research from the past 15 years.
