Specializes in Psychiatry

Friendships: If you want to maintain your friendships and other significant relationships, it's very important that you stay in therapy with an experienced psychologist, psychiatrist, or other psychotherapist. This may be stressful because you learn how your illness makes it hard to bear painful emotions, and can lead to misperceiving interactions. With ongoing feedback and patient friends, it's possible.
