I am a Doctoral trained MEDICAL PA practicing in psychiatry and mental wellness for the past 22 years. I specialize in treating a variety of disorders that stem from low neurotransmitter levels, namely serotonin and dopamine. At times I prescribe commonly used anti-depressants and anti-anxiety agents that can be useful for short or long term treatment, depending on the situation and need.
However, I look at the whole body and many times, naturally restoring the normal function of the brain resolves the need for prescription medication. These options have the advantage of being useful with limiting the downside of big drug companies' prescription medication. Total symptom remission, not just improvement in current symptoms, is our treatment goal.

Not at all. People who ask for help know when they need it and have the ability to reach out. Everyone needs help now and then. You already have some strengths that you've used before, that for whatever reason isn't working right now. Perhaps this problem feels overwhelming and is making it difficult to access your past strengths.
Medications can play a role in treating several mental disorders and conditions. Treatment may also include psychotherapy (also called "talk therapy") and brain stimulation therapies (less common). In some cases, psychotherapy alone may be the best treatment option. Choosing the right treatment plan should be based on a person's individual needs and medical situation, and under a mental health professional's care.
Depression (major depressive disorder or clinical depression) is a common but serious mood disorder. It causes severe symptoms that affect how you feel, think, and handle daily activities, such as sleeping, eating, or working. To be diagnosed with depression, the symptoms must be present for at least two weeks.
Occasional anxiety is a normal part of life. You might feel anxious when faced with a problem at work, before taking a test, or making an important decision. But anxiety disorders involve more than temporary worry or fear. For a person with an anxiety disorder, the anxiety does not go away and can get worse over time.

When I scheduled the appt they are sure they told me to be on time, then they called me the day before to again make sure I was on time again. I was there early and I still waited an hour and had not been called yet. I don't understand how Dr's offices can say they will charge you for not being on time or not showing up but turn around and waste your time. I wish I can send them a bill for my time. Do they think their time is more important than their patients?

I chose this provider because he talked with his patients until he had a clear understanding of their issues. He'll ask clarifying questions and expain things in detail. While your in session with him, his attention is only on you. In your next visit, a month later, he'll do it agian and have a vivid recollection of your last visit. These are traits that I see as importat and needed as a patient. I fully excepted and planned the fact he may very well run over his time with patients. I had just come from a provider that couldn't remember my name let alone what medication he had prescribed me the
