How should i approach psychiatrist about lithium medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No worries: Just let your psychiatrist know what's on your mind. Psychiatrists are well-trained and experienced. And, they've probably heard similar things before, so just speak up. If it makes you feel more comfortable, make a note about what you want to be sure to cover at your appointment. Your approach should be just fine, however you do it.
