Specializes in Psychiatry

Dr can assess for: mood disorder & underlying medical conditions. Talking therapy (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or insight oriented psychotherapy) is important for lasting change. Psych meds may be indicated. Don't isolate. Use your support system. Get out. Don’t stagnate at home. Get at least 8 hrs of sleep/ night & eat healthfully. Daily exercise is a big +. Try acupuncture, tai chi, qi gong, yoga or meditation.
