What does it involve?

• Compassionate, private discussion with our physician regarding issues such as depression, chronic fatigue, sleep problems, anxiety, panic, chronic pain and grief. 
• Medication management
• Referral for counseling where appropriate
• Referral for psychiatric specialist consultation when appopriate

How do I prepare?

• No preparation is necessary.   We know that asking for help is often the most difficult step. 

Why is it important?

• Depression, anxiety and other mood disorders are exceedingly common in our culture.  They are underdiagnosed, and therefore undertreated by physicians.  We have a large array of medications and resources that are available for the successful management and treatment of mood disorders.  We pride ourselves on the ability to evaluate and treat such sensitive issues, while knowing when referral to a specialist will be most helpful.
