Specializes in Psychiatry

Not common: discuss with prescribing doc and consider second opinion. I would be happy to consult with you through my virtual practice if you are a resident of CA. If not you may be able to locate another psychiatrist with a virtual practice who is licensed in your state

MEDICATION: Best to discuss medication with your Psychiatrist. If uncomfortable with your Dr. consult another for a second opinion. Have a physical exam by a Dr. to determine if you have a physical illness. Consult with a Clinical Psychologist for psychotherapy with ZOOM sessions. Fears and anxiety could be heightened due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Stay safe & hopeful to elevate your immune system.
