Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Make sure she: is being followed by a psychiatrist and stays on her medication. Be involved in her treatment so that the psychiatrist knows if things are not working and can adjust the medication. Seek treatment for yourself with a psychologist to cope with her issues and attend support groups for families coping with the mental ill ness of a loved one (NAMI).
