Jeste has published 11 books, more than 575 articles in peer-reviewed journals, and over 125 book chapters, and he was listed in “The Best Doctors in America,” and also in the Institute for Scientific Information list of the “world's most cited authors”, comprising less than 0.5% percent of all publishing researchers of the previous two decades.[7] He has received numerous awards, including those from the National Alliance on Mental Illness, International Psychogeriatric Association, National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), Institute of Living, Veterans Affairs, and APA.[8][9][10]

Professional experience

Jeste obtained his medical degree in Pune, and psychiatry training at KEM hospital in Mumbai, India. After coming to the United States, he completed psychiatry residency at Cornell University, and neurology residency at George Washington University. He was a research fellow, and later, Chief of the Units on Movement Disorders and Dementias at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). In 1986 he joined UC San Diego School of Medicine, where he developed an NIMH-funded Geriatric Psychiatry Clinical Research Center, focused on schizophrenia and other psychoses in late life.[11] He is Editor-in-Chief of the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry.[12]

Research

Jeste’s primary areas of research are psychosis and its treatment in late life, and successful cognitive aging,[17][18] including wisdom. [19][20] He has also conducted studies of clinical, neuropsychological and neurobiological characteristics of late-onset schizophrenia, aging of early-onset schizophrenia patients, and psychosis of Alzheimer's disease.[21] In terms of treatments, he has published on therapeutic and adverse effects (including tardive dyskinesia and metabolic syndrome) of antipsychotics. He also has published on psychosocial treatments as well as certain bioethical aspects of research (particularly decision making capacity and methods for enhancing it) among older people with psychotic disorders.[22]

Personal life

Jeste was born in a small town in the state of Maharashtra, India, and became the first medical doctor in his family. He and his wife, Sonali Jeste, M.D. (who later became a child psychiatrist), immigrated to the U.S. in 1974 to pursue further training. They live in San Diego, California, and have two daughters.[23]
