DR. CHARLES LEE 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

I was led to believe if I worked hard enough and talked through my emotions...

I am very saddened to learn about Charlie's passing. I was very fortunate to work closely with him through the years, including the period when he was my boss and department chair at the UTHSC San Antonio. He was really a remarkable man, always with a great attitude, a nice sense of humor and a big heart. He was a great leader to the department. His work to help patients with bipolar disorder is immensely influential. We lost a friend and a really great man. He will be missed! Our...
