My journey into psychiatry was sparked by a deep-seated curiosity about the complexities of the human psyche and a desire to alleviate the suffering that often accompanies mental illness. I understand psychiatric medications (such as antidepressants and stimulants) is just one avenue of treatment. I engage patients in a shared exploration of the available treatment options, providing comprehensive education about the risks, benefits, and alternatives of each approach. Together, we weigh the evidence and collaboratively decide on a course of action that is tailored to their unique needs, values and lifestyle.
