A sample of JD’s music legacy. JD’s dad, Dr. John Feighner, was a very accomplished musician and a funny guy.
In addition, Dr. Feighner, an internationally recognized psychiatrist, founded the Feighner Research Institute, a clinical neuropsychopharmacology research center, which for over 30 years conducted extensive clinical trials, predominantly testing medications for mood disorders, anxiety disorders, Alzheimer’s disease, and migraine. Dr. Feighner was the primary investigator in over 225 clinical trials on more than 30 antidepressants and countless other psychotropic medications. He published 125 scientific papers and several books, had given over 1,000 seminars, and was known as one of the world’s leading experts in clinical psychopharmacology.
