Bio
Khalid Salaheldin, MD serves as Clinical Assistant Professor and interventional psychiatrist in the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Salaheldin specializes in the management of individuals presenting with first episode psychosis and early psychosis.
His current work at Stanford spans evaluating patients in the early psychosis INSPIRE clinic, inpatient psychiatric unit, and the interventional psychiatry services; alongside teaching, research, and continuing to learn from his patients & colleagues.
His treatment philosophy is a holistic and compassionate approach evaluating vital underlying factors alongside pharmacotherapy & neuromodulatory interventions including: sleep, exercise, nutrition, mindfulness, therapy integration, underlying medical issues, substance use, psychosocial history, and importantly patients’ current relationships (including pets of course!). His approach focuses on meeting patients where they are at in their health journey, aligning treatment with their personal goals, and being actively present in their management.
Dr. Salaheldin’s research interests include early psychosis interventions, underlying medical causes of psychiatric symptoms, neuromodulation, community/global mental health, spirituality and mental health, healthcare worker mental health, novel psychiatric therapeutics, and mental health parity & policy.
Prior coming to Stanford, Dr. Salaheldin’s work as academic chief resident at Northwell Health focused on piloting a consult liaison service for first episode psychosis that compassionately assists patients and their families from once they enter the emergency room, through their inpatient admission and into the outpatient setting.
We kindly request that patients do their best to provide the clinic with their previous blood work, imaging reports and medical history paperwork prior to the appointment in order to have the most complete initial evaluation.

Improving Cognition Via Exercise in Schizophrenia
Recruiting
People with schizophrenia display a broad range of cognitive impairments that have been identified as major determinants of poor functioning and disability. Also, people with schizophrenia are at increased risk for suicide, with approximately 40-50% of individuals attempting to take their own lives during their lifetime. The goal of the proposed study is to examine the impact of remote exercise training on cognition, suicide risk, daily functioning, and biomarkers of cognitive change and suicidality in people with schizophrenia.

The relationship between prototype ratings of personality and self and interpersonal functioning with an adolescent inpatient sample
CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY & PSYCHOTHERAPY
2021; 28 (2): 364-372
Abstract
Personality pathology is conceptualized, in part, as impairments in self and interpersonal functioning. Although most of the research has focused on adult samples, fewer have looked at this relationship in adolescent samples. This paper investigates the relationship between clinician-rated personality prototypes, the Shedler-Westen Assessment Procedure-Prototype Matching Adolescent Version (SWAP-A-P) derived from the SWAP-II-A, and a measure of self and interpersonal functioning, the Social Cognition and Object Relation Scale-Global Rating (SCORS-G). Clinicians rated 66 adolescents hospitalized at a safety net teaching hospital in the northeast. The patient's individual and group therapist rated the patients at discharge using the SWAP-A-P and the SCORS-G at discharge blind to each other's ratings. Results showed that more severe personality pathology was linked with more impairments in self and interpersonal functioning.
