Specializes in Psychiatry

Medication effects: I understand you feeling scared of side effects of medication due to unpleasant experiences with 3 medications. Discuss with Psychiatrist: • Intensity of Symptoms at that time • Diagnosis-Anxiety, Depression, or both • Therapy for stresses of relationships, separations, school, work, and finances • Develop Coping Skills • Breathing Relaxation • Visual Imagery • Meditation • Yoga • Tai Chi
