INITIAL COUNSELING AND TREATMENT FOR BEHAVIORAL OR EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS

 

Anxiety and depression are common medical problems.  When indicated we prescribe medicines and often recommend counseling through any of several local psychologists, as the combined treatment is more effective than medicine alone.  We also address other mental illness disorders and refer to psychiatrists when appropriate.  Helpful information and support for family and people with these medical problems is found with NAMI: National Alliance on Mental Illness
