"I believe that listening to the patient is very important. It sounds simple, but I have seen so many patients over the years who I believe were misdiagnosed simply because no one bothered to truly listen to them. It could mean the difference between treating someone for years for major depressive disorder when they actually have bipolar II disorder which typically doesn't improve with antidepressants alone. We, as nurse practitioners, are trained to listen, assess, and treat the whole person, not to just hand someone a prescription after 15 minutes!"
