"Although I prescribe psychiatric medications such as antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, and ADHD medications, it does not mean that I believe medications will help everyone or solve all of your problems. After your initial evaluation, I will give you reliable information about whether a medication is likely to help, its potential risks, and the alternative treatments. I may strongly recommend a medication, suggest it as a possible option, or conclude that medication is not likely to help you at all. We will discuss your lifestyle, such as diet, exercise, alcohol/substance use, and stress-management strategies"
