A note from Dan
A patient is not merely a list of symptoms that make up a condition. All aspects of your life need to be understood. How is your job and home life? What is your ethnic and educational background? Do you have any medical problems? These questions and many more are needed to understand you and provide the right diagnosis and treatment for you. In most cases a combination of medication and talk therapy will give the best results. I am a triple board certified physician in Psychiatry, Addiction Medicine, and Obesity Medicine that can help you start feeling well again.
