Tips to pick a psychiatrist

Be prepared to ask questions about the provider’s
practice principles, beliefs about medications and other
things that might be important to you. In fact make a list
of questions to ask if need be.

Discuss with your primary care physician if you are in a
comfortable relationship with them about your mental
health needs.

You have to also check to see if you are a good match,
temperamentally and otherwise; sometimes you might
have to seek a second opinion if you feel the treatment
is not right.

Ask your psychiatrist about the other options available
and more information about medications or alternative
treatment.

If you are already in therapy, make sure your psychiatrist
and therapist communicate with each other. The best
treatment often occurs with a good team working
together towards your betterment.

Practice Principle

Optimal functioning is the key to a good quality of life. Our life

experiences teach us how to react to situations be it with

bright

optimism or quiet resignation as “one’s fate” or other

emotions. The

human brain is being unraveled by

neuroscientists to understand the

origin of these emotions

and behavior. As supported by advances in

neuroscience our

brain is wired to react in certain ways because of

early

experiences coupled with genetic vulnerabilities. These

reactions might not be optimal for functioning in the world, be

it at

school, or the play ground for children and adolescents

and work or

relationships for adults. We know changes are

possible to a willing

mind especially by a trained professional.
