PANIC: It is important to find the correct combination of medications with your Psychiatrist. Medications alone are not sufficient since they do not teach you coping mechanisms. Psychotherapy with a Clinical Psychologist can help you find ways to handle stress that will help your medications to work better. It is appropriate to obtain a second opinion from a Psychiatrist if you have concerns about meds.
