Lorna Gail Dawson
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, APRN, PMHNP

Overdrinking....and want to reduce or quit altogether? Using the medication baclofen or naltrexone (Sinclair Method) we can achieve your goals. Both drugs work indirectly by reducing the amount of dopamine that is released when you drink. When the pleasurable reinforcement of dopamine is reduced, over time the desire to drink is reduced, and the body has a chance to heal. I also specialize in "integrative psychiatry", which tries to find the underlying cause of mental illness, whether that is low functioning hormones, vitamin & mineral deficiencies, or untreated environmental exposure (mold & toxins).

Brighter Day Psychiatry, PC
Psychiatrist, MD
Verified
As a child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist I have practiced for the past 7 years helping individuals lead happier more productive and satisfying lives. Collaboration is key in meeting the patient's objectives in treatment. My approach to medication usage is conservative, it is an important part of treatment for many mental health issues but there are associated side effects which can come up especially as the dosage of medications are increased. That is why I also take the time to inform my patients on any viable non-medication options we provide such as Brainsway deepTMS for treatment resistant depression and OCD .

We all have good days as well as bad days. However, increasing stressors in your life, going through a difficult transition or experiencing a loss can leave you feeling like every single day is a struggle. You may not be getting enough sleep; you feel irritable or even hopeless more days than not. Everyone experiences anxiety at times, but it becomes overwhelming when it starts to negatively affect your relationships or interfere with school or your work. Mental health struggles can greatly reduce your quality of life. Managing your mental health is vital to feeling balanced and fulfilled.
