Bipolar disorders are a type of mood disorder. There are several subtypes of bipolar disorders. The most common ones are Bipolar 1 and 2 disorders. These affect approximately 5 percent of the population, which means that we have about 1.5 million people with this condition in Canada. Bipolar disorder is a serious psychiatric condition.

We all forget things as we age, but that doesn’t mean we have dementia. Dementia isn’t just one condition - it’s a term that refers to symptoms that cause a decline in mental ability that interferes with daily life. Alzheimer's is the most common type of dementia and accounts for 60 to 80 percent of cases. Vascular dementia is the second most common dementia type and occurs after a stroke. Memory loss that worsens over time can be another type of dementia.  Pour plus d'informations et les services locaux des psychiatres locaux à Montréal et à Québec PQ, contactez votre psychiatre local

    Michael Brownstein may not be aware of the Criminal Code of Canada regarding fraud section 366. Falsification of mental health records, from 2003 to 2009 files and statements fabricated and falsified were submitted by him to the College of Physicians and Surgeons in 2009. In fact Interior Health, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC and the Canadian Mental Health Association doesn’t seem to be either aware of the criminal code of Canada section 366 or all are totally naive. Michael Brownstein was not aware I suffered with hypothyroidism, hypotension and anemia. TSH levels were unstable due to toxic drug therapy that caused a hyperthyroid condition to swing to. a hypothyroid condition that caused many other medical conditions that will last the remainder of my life due to a previous misdiagnosis

    Action Plan
    Michael Brownstein's action plan was to fabricate documentation, perhaps in attempts to cover up the unethical actions of an outreach worker that manipulated and caused a mental health misdiagnosis. then accted as legal representative after I was drugged, traumatized and controlled by the manipulation of this outreach worker and arranged a signing of a release with PowerSense Energy 1 HomeGuard FortisBC. Michale Brownstein is unethical and worse than this, a liar. and a piece of filth that has obtained hundreds of thousands of dollars in salary for many years, paid by taxpayers

    Aware and involved in a Human Trafficking Operation by one of his colleagues. It may be the same situation someone else referenced below I don't know. But if their are many similar cases thats very extreme and concerning. I personally would be very skeptical of this man. Especially if Non binary or of a minority group or if you are concerned about privacy and professional service.

    I have had nothing but good experiences being helped by Dr. Brownstein. He has even demonstrated consistent professionalism, tact, and kindness. Note that it appears that a few of the negative reviews below were written by a single person...

    This man was absolutely horrible to me. He should not be in the care of vulnerable citizens. After speaking to this man it’s obvious he has underlying mental health issues that need to be addressed before he addresses anyone else’s. Hes corrupt man that is in the wrong field of work, I recommend that people look elsewhere for help.

    It's sad to see that among all those who contributed to the systemic abuse you endured, there doesn't seem to be even one -amazing, not even one - who has the humanity to admit that they may have been mistaken and that they are sorry for the negative impact on your life. It's almost as if they don't consider you to be a human being, as if you're essentially different in some way from themselves. Possibly they're afraid of lawsuits or of being publicly exposed as incompetent or worse, corrupt, but they have set out into a field of work to help people

    It's sad to see that among all those who contributed to the systemic abuse you endured, there doesn't seem to be even one - amazing, not even one who has the humanity to admit that they may have been mistaken and that they are sorry for the negative impact on your life.  It's almost as if they don't consider you to be a human being, as if you're essentially different in some way from themselves. Possibly they're afraid of lawsuits or of being publicly exposed as incompetent or worse, corrupt, but they have set out into a field of work to help people, and if they can see that they have contributed to harming someone, ethical considerations dictate that they try in some way to alleviate that.  I'm not talking about money here, as I have no way of assessing that, but about trying to in some way offer you help, if in no other way than apologizing for misunderstanding and mistreating you, or for not caring enough to follow up when they knew things weren'tgoing right for you and that they had contributed in some way to that bad outcome. Even if one of them just told you verbally (so you couldn't use it in a lawsuit) something like "look, they didn't have anyone else to do this job, and I was interested and they offered it to me, and I thought I could help people, but in your case, I just wasn't experienced enough and unfortunately didn't think to bring in someone with more expertise, and I'm sorry for that", at least it would indicate some humanity.  All of them probably have some mentor or therapist or past teacher or someone who they could contact to help them figure out what they could do for you, if they were motivated to do so, but it appears they are mired in complacency and content with their misuse of their positions in your case.  It is a very scary and sad example of laziness, lack of professionalism and really, just plain stupidity and lack of human concern. Having been with my ex-husband, Phil (who was a licensed MFCC with a masters in psychology and notable successes within his practice) for almost 14 years, at a time when (I just counted, trying to remember) over a dozen of our closest friends either were or had  been licensed and practicing psychology professionals, either with MDs, PhDs or MFCC and Masters degrees, it makes me almost physically sick to think of what you went through and are still going through without any decent human in the field actually going out of their way to try to help you.  I wish I was one of them so I could apologize to you on behalf of the profession, but since I'm just another lay person (who's been through years of therapy myself and lived through all those years participating in discussions about all aspects of the profession with all those professionals, and read most of the books they have), I can only tell you I'm so sorry that you have met up with some of the worst examples of human beings who practice in that field, and hope you will continue to make the discoveries you need to come to terms in your own way with what happened and that you'll be able to make peace with it all and move on from it so you can finally start living your own life. Charmaine, among our friends in that profession, none of them were beginners.  All except one had had a previous career before getting intothe field of psychology.  Several were MDs, one was a famous actor, one a soap opera star, one a dancer and choreographer (on Broadway), one a sociologist (even now a tenured professor at one of the UC universities), one now has a practice in Beverly Hills where some of her patients fly in regularly to see her from other countries, and they were all the kind of seriously ethical and caring people who you couldtrust with your life.  I cannot speak for them, but I will tell you that I spent so much time talking with them about so many related issues, that I would be profoundly surprised if they weren't all as disgusted by the treatment you've received as I am.  Not that that is any consolation to you, but I wish you could believe that there are competent and caring people in that field, although I admit evidence in your area would not lead to that conclusion. I don't see what you can do except get out of there.

    not entering the mental health system in BC especially in Nelson BC, It is very corrupted. Michale Brownstein was not aware of a severe thyroid condition that I had, and also falsified documentation in attempts to cover up a misdiagnosis and fraud committed by a counselor.

    When a psychiatrist wont fill a prescription because we were broke says " no money therefore no prescription, expect two weeks of withdrawl, goodluck and goodbye" Is that caring? A horrible excuse for a mental health doctor.

    michael Brownstein fabricated documentation with the community case manager and team leader and submitted false statements to the college of physicians and Surgeons. to cover up a misdiagnosis and fraud. he was not even aware that I suffered from severe thyroid problems ranging from hyperthyroid to hyperthyroid due to a misdiagnosis from Andre Piver GP. thyroid peroxidase levels were not monitored leaving me with a high count over 1000 for twenty years. I was subjected to antipsychotics, antidepressants, lithium, dival proex acid high cholestro levels, low iron levels resulted from this.. many fabricated MH documents and medical documents are exposed. this is the worst crew of people in the mental health that have made a mockery of mental health and healthcare services, investigations should be conducted in order to get help for the people that have been misdiagnosed in this area.

    Dr, michael brownstein participated in fasifying my mental health documents, and the submitted false and slanderous information about me to the College of Physicians and Surgeon. This was to cover up the fact that I was misidagnosed at Nelson Mental Health via a an outreach worker with very little academic training in psychology who believed I had a seious mental illness. The referral came from North Kootenay lake Community Services in Kaslo, The outreach worker also took over my legal affairs which also led to the mental health documenst being fasified. As far as I am concerned it is a public health and safety risk to allow Dr. Michael Brownstein to work. His licence should have been revoked years agp. I have the documenation to prove this, as well I have submitted the documentation to the RCMP and Abottsford police department, and all the systems that are responsible for the protection, the health and safety of the public.
