Innovative Psychiatric Care: Treating the Root Causes

Hello,

When you seek help for your symptoms, it's crucial to address the root causes, not just the symptoms themselves. My approach to psychiatric care is centered on identifying and treating the underlying diseases, rather than merely managing symptoms with medication or psychotherapy.

My Approach:

• Holistic Diagnosis: I go beyond simple DSM labels to understand the full scope of your condition. My goal is to diagnose the root causes of your symptoms to ensure effective treatment.
• Targeted Treatment: I differentiate between symptomatic and disease-modifying drugs. Symptomatic drugs offer short-term relief, while disease-modifying drugs address the underlying condition for long-term improvement. Knowing which type of medication to use, when, and for how long is key to effective treatment.
• Evidence-Based Practice: My approach is rooted in scientific evidence and independent thinking, ensuring that you receive care that is not only effective but also tailored to your unique needs.
• Consultation and Guidance: If you're not seeing improvement with your current treatment, I offer consultations to help guide your clinician or provide an alternative approach to your care.

If you have not experienced the relief you need from your current treatment, especially for mood disorders, anxiety, or ADD, consider reaching out for a fresh perspective.
