Paul E. Ruskin
About
Dr. Paul E. Ruskin is a psychiatrist based in Baltimore, Maryland, with a clinical focus in geriatric psychiatry. His practice is affiliated with the VA Maryland Health Care System, where he has worked with elderly and medically ill veteran populations.
His research, spanning roughly 48 publications in journals such as The American Journal of Psychiatry, The American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, and the Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry and Neurology, addresses depression in older adults, psychiatric consultation in nursing home settings, advance directives among patients with schizophrenia, and the use of telecommunications technology in psychiatric assessment. He co-edited a volume on aging and post-traumatic stress disorder published by the American Psychiatric Association. His work on telepsychiatry, including early investigations of videophone-based assessment of depressive symptoms and cognitive function in elderly veterans, anticipates current interest in remote psychiatric care.
Dr. Ruskin is licensed in Maryland and holds board certification in psychiatry. His clinical and research background in geriatric psychiatry, combined with experience assessing elderly inpatients and nursing home residents, positions him to address psychiatric questions arising in cases involving older adults, veterans, and end-of-life care issues.
