Specializes in Psychiatry

Start w your Dr to: Assess for mood disorder ; underlying medical conditions that may be the cause of your symptoms. Talking therapy (cognitive behavioral therapy or insight oriented psychotherapy) is important for lasting change. Psychiatric meds may be indicated. Don't isolate. Spend time w people. Use your support system. Get out. Don’t allow yourself to stagnate at home. Get at least 8 hrs of sleep/ night ; eat.
