Psychiatric Times

What Psychiatric Times does

Psychiatric Times is a multimedia professional publishing platform serving psychiatrists, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners, residents, and other mental health clinicians since 1985. Operating under MJH Life Sciences from Cranbury, New Jersey, the platform delivers clinical content across 40+ psychiatric conditions including schizophrenia, mood disorders, ADHD, anxiety, sleep disorders, addiction, and PTSD. Its product portfolio centers on a peer-reviewed journal (currently Volume 43) and a news publication, supplemented by accredited CME/CE continuing education, podcasts, video series (Peer Exchange, Case-Based Psych Perspectives, Clinical Case Collective, Insights, Peers & Perspectives), short-form vertical video (Shorts), slideshows, conference coverage from APA/ASCP/SLEEP/APSARD, a job board, and clinical tools such as interactive scales and quizzes. The technology stack is a digital-first publishing platform with integrated CME/CE accreditation workflows, multimedia delivery infrastructure, and topic-specific landing pages covering the full breadth of psychiatric subspecialties.

The business model combines three primary revenue streams: pharmaceutical and healthcare company advertising and sponsorship (including display ads, sponsored content, and branded editorial), CME/CE and print/digital subscriptions (annual billing cadence, tiered into digital-only and print+digital bundles), and sponsored special reports and supplements produced in partnership with pharmaceutical companies. Distribution is digital-first through the website, email newsletters, and major podcast platforms, with print journal fulfillment for subscribers. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and content-driven: the platform attracts and retains mental health professionals through clinical content and CME access, then monetizes the prescriber audience through pharma advertising and sponsored content.

Psychiatric Times maintains strategic alliance partnerships with major psychiatric professional organizations (American Psychiatric Association, American Society of Clinical Psychopharmacology, APSARD), academic institutions (Yale, Mount Sinai, Cleveland Clinic), and patient advocacy organizations. Editor-in-Chief John J. Miller, MD provides clinical editorial leadership. The publication operates primarily in the United States with a global audience of mental health professionals, though no international offices are disclosed.
