Andrea Dotti (psychiatrist)

Andrea Paolo Mario Dotti was an Italian psychiatrist-neurologist and the second husband of Audrey Hepburn from 1969 to 1982.

He was known for his research and clinical work on eating disorders (bulimia and anorexia nervosa),[2][3][4] cyclothymic disorders,[5] and pharmacological therapy in psychiatry,[6][7] the latter being the subject of a successful treatise with Gian Carlo Reda[8] and the pharmacological therapy section in the Italian Treatise of Psychiatry by Cassano and Pancheri.

Dotti came from a wealthy aristocratic family and was a friend or relative of some well-known figures in art and finance.

Dotti met Hepburn in June 1968 on a cruise aboard a yacht owned by an Italian socialite.
