  • Brian J. Mickey, MD, PhD, is Associate Professor of Psychiatry. He studied physics and biology at the University of Washington, Seattle, then completed his MD and PhD in Neuroscience at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. After psychiatry residency and postdoctoral fellowship at the Molecular & Behavioral Neuroscience Institute, he joined the faculty at the University of Michigan. In 2015, he moved to the University of Utah, where he is a faculty member in Psychiatry, Neuroscience, Biomedical Engineering, and Anesthesiology.

    Dr. Mickey is board-certified in Psychiatry. His clinical focus is treatment-resistant mood disorders. He is a provider of pharmacologic treatments and brain stimulation interventions, including electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy (TMS) in the Treatment Resistant Mood Disorders Clinic at the University's Huntsman Mental Health Institute. His research group is using brain imaging and genetics in human subjects to study neurobiological mechanisms that underlie individual differences in mood and motivation, and the causes of treatment resistance.
