Frederick King Goodwin Frederick King Goodwin died peacefully at home on September 10th, 2020, tended by his loving Wife, Sheila. He and his fraternal twin, Clifford (d.2012) were born April 21st, 1936 in Cincinnati, Ohio to Robert Clifford Goodwin and Marion Schmadel Goodwin. His family moved nine years later to Washington, D.C., where the twins were raised with their older sister Patricia (Norry) and younger brothers Robert, Jr. and James, who survive him. He was graduated from Gonzaga High School in 1954, Georgetown University in 1958, and St. Louis University School of Medicine in 1963. Fred was married to Rosemary Powers, a recent graduate of St. Louis University, on October 19th, 1963, in Syracuse, New York. The following July the couple moved to Chapel Hill for his psychiatric residency at the University of North Carolina. In 1965 they moved with their first child Kathleen (Hayden) to Silver Spring, Maryland, where they added sons Frederick, Jr. and Daniel. They later settled in Chevy Chase, Maryland, where they watched their children grow and leave, but a bit later return frequently to homes in Chevy Chase and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware with their spouses and Fred and Rosemary’s ten adored grandchildren, until Rosemary passed away June 3rd, 2013, just shy of their 50th wedding anniversary. On September 16th, 2016, in National Harbor, Maryland, Fred married Sheila Burgay of Bethesda, Maryland, who survives him. They lived happy years in retirement, splitting time between Bethesda, Maryland and Lewes, Delaware. After medical residency in 1965, Dr. Goodwin joined the National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH), where he worked as a government scientist helping to build a world- renown research base for the new science of psychopharmacology. He rose to serve as Scientific Director and chief of Intramural Research from 1981-1988. In July 1988, he received a Presidential appointment to head the Alcohol, Drug Abuse and Mental Health Administration (ADAMHA), where he served until 1992, returning to NIMH as Director until retiring from government in 1994. After retiring from government service, Dr. Goodwin joined the George Washington University Medical Center as Professor of Psychiatry and founding Director of the University’s Center on Neuroscience, Medical Progress, and Society. He was a founding partner of Best Practice, a consulting firm providing public policy, research and medical education expertise to the healthcare industry. From 1998-2005 he hosted the popular and award-winning radio program, The Infinite Mind , exploring neuroscience, mental illness and issues of the mind on over 300 public radio stations, reaching as many as one million listeners a week. One of the world’s most frequently cited scientists and leading authorities on bipolar, depressive disorders and suicide, Dr. Goodwin authored over 460 scientific papers published in leading medical journals, including one on the first controlled trial demonstrating the efficacy of lithium in the treatment of bipolar disorder. He was a member of the National Academy of Sciences, served on the editorial board of several leading psychiatric journals, and founded Psychiatry Research. He received the major research awards in his field, as well as numerous government and private service awards. His 1990 seminal text, Manic Depressive Illness , is considered the 'bible of bipolar' by clinicians, researchers and patients. The second edition was awarded the 2008 Best Medical Book Award from the American Medical Writers Association. A part-time psychopharmacologist and therapist from the start of his career until reluctantly retiring from practice in 2015, Dr. Goodwin strongly believed his clinical work with patients and mental health research instructed each other. Dr. Goodwin treated and consulted on difficult cases resistant to traditional protocols, and leaves many grateful patients around the globe. Following a private graveside service, interment will be at the Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Silver Spring, Maryland. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI.org) or the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (dbsalliance.org).
