Chronic Conditions

Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, pain and other physical disorders with no medical cause, and treatment resistant severe depression are chronic conditions that require long term treatment and support. The first line of treatment for these conditions is typically medication. Psychotherapy is a useful adjunct to psychiatry as some symptoms may not respond fully to medication and symptoms frequently worsen in times of stress. I will collaborate with you and your doctor to help you maintain stability and full functioning, manage stress, and manage residual symptoms.
