Don't know if this is what you're looking for, but take a look here...

http://www.psycom.net/depression.central.psychiatrists.html

"This is a listing of the top psychiatrists in the U.S.A. specializing in the treatment of individuals with all types of depressive disorders including Bipolar (manic- depressive) Disorder, Cyclothymia, Dysthymia, Major Depression, and other mood disorders.
"

I think it lists 6 in NY... Good luck.

Dr. Goldberg's list is a good one. Also, if things get bad, don't hesitate to go to the hospital. I'm considering it myself.

Hang in there.

I didn't know there is a list of recommended pdocs? I found my best pdoc at an emergency clinic at a hospital. He decided to take me on full time as a patient after I told him of all my frustration with my other doctors.

best regards
John
