Not sure what to say?

As a patient of his study group; I truly admired his expertise and knowledge of the brain functions. As a nurse- I am in awe of his findings. I´m proud to state he was my Dr for my earlier treatment. RIP Dr Bowden

Many years ago I was a patient of Dr Bowden. It was around 2009-2010. I just discovered that he passed by finding this online. I remember him to be a great Dr & very interested in my mental health as I have been diagnosed as Bipolar 1. I was in the Depakote studies as well. What an accomplished life he lead.

Virginia, I just read Chuck´s Memorial on Doximity. Belated condolences from a voice from your past from both the Unitarian church and medical libraries worlds of yesteryear. I have very fond memories of Chuck and of you. Dwight, too, sends his condolences from the world of retired UTHSCSA professors. We were saddened to read the news.

God bless Dr. Bowden. His great work on several psychiatry fronts at UTHSCSA still lives on along many fine fronts ~ including his generous educational efforts like: https://youtu.be/0dMO1Y_9Yig

The world of bipolar disorder lost a talented clinical researcher and a kind man.

What a remarkable man and what an amazing life he led! It was an honor to meet him..

There are not enough words to express the gratitude and respect I have for Dr. Bowden. Not as a colleague... My words are coming from that of being a patient. I was fortunate enough to find Dr. Bowden at the UTHSC in the late 1980´s early 90´s in my early 20´s. I was miserable, terrified, and knew something was wrong only to be told by multiple therapists I needed to talk through what was happening with me. I was led to believe if I worked hard enough and talked through my emotions...
