Medication as a Treatment Option
I base all recommendations for medication on the most recent scientific research, while also considering previous treatments and other medical or mental disorders. The goal is to develop a pathway the leads to effective patient treatment and recovery.
Providing Ongoing Open Discussions
Because medications can have potential side-effects, I involve my patients in an ongoing discussion of their treatment options. These may include the the benefits of medication versus the side-effects.
Offering Timely Feedback
Patient lifestyles, habits, and situation are considered before recommending medication. I encourage patients to discuss their treatment preferences and provide them with ongoing feedback about their progress.
