DR. GUILHERME BRETAS — PSYCHIATRIST — CRM/RJ: 118412-1 | RQE: 54079

About me

My name is Guilherme Bretas Guimarães. I am a psychiatrist and a specialist in bipolar disorder. In this field, I see patients and conduct research at the Bipolar Disorder Research Laboratory at UFRJ (BiPoLaB), where I am beginning my master’s degree under the supervision of the distinguished Professor Elie Cheniaux.

I completed Dr. Renato Silva’s specialization program in mood disorders—he is one of Brazil’s leading experts in the field—as well as Dr. Diego Tavares’s program at the USP Mood Disorders Research Group.

Experience care from an attentive specialist!
I have a special dedication to conditions such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), insomnia, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and panic disorder. My practice also includes significant experience at UFRJ's Treatment-Resistant Depression Outpatient Clinic, where I focused on researching forms of depression that do not respond to conventional treatments—an area that particularly fascinates me. I also have a strong interest in Neurology and am completing a postgraduate program in the field at IPEMED/RJ. This enriches my practice and deepens my expertise in conditions such as migraine, fibromyalgia, and neuropathic pain.

A trusted psychologist helping you face life's challenges every day.

One of my passions is psychopharmacology. I currently teach courses for psychologists and physicians and greatly enjoy guest lecturing at medical schools. My goal is to provide specialized, high-quality care to my patients in Rio de Janeiro and online.

About me

Guiding you toward mental well-being and stability.

Knowing how to listen—important in every area of medicine—is crucial when treating psychological disorders. In addition, empathy within a safe and confidential environment is the key that makes it possible to begin addressing the problem, guide treatment, and work toward a solution.
