Davena Beal
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, DNP, APN, PMH-NP

After 20 years of working in the mental health field, I have learned that although psychotherapy can be a life changing experience, it is not always enough to adequately manage mental health symptoms. When patients are still experiencing debilitating symptoms of depression, anxiety, impulsiveness, or difficulty with concentration, then psychotropic medications may be beneficial. Medications may bring patients relief from overwhelming worry or panic symptoms, low mood and motivation, and mood swings or irritability.

Evan O Foster Deranja
Psychiatrist, MD, PhD
Verified
Verified
My ideal patient is one who is willing and motivated to work together with me, as a team, to help figure out what is contributing to their struggles and how to work through it. It's frequently an iterative process whereby we make progress together over time. Sometimes it seems relatively simple, but frequently it's not. The keys are to keep going, to keep working at it, to never give up, to not shy away from complexity, and to be willing to begin anywhere. The wisdom of knowing when to keep working at solving a problem vs when to work towards acceptance is only achieved through our authentic best efforts over time.

He is well-versed in all classes of psychotropic medications and their indications, though he rarely prescribes controlled substances (stimulants, benzodiazepines, etc) on an initial visit. Above all he values the human component of psychiatry and making a connection with his patients – he knows that it’s often important to meet people where they are at, and appreciates the convenience of telepsychiatry in helping him do so.

Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, MSN, ANP-BC
Verified
Verified
During my time working in primary care I have observed significant deficits in access to quality mental health care for both the geriatric and adult populations including patients with dementia, major depressive disorder, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and substance use disorder. I’ve become focused on helping fill in those gaps in care. So often medications are quickly prescribed to manage complex issues that need an interdisciplinary and holistic approach. I obtained my buprenorphine waiver to help contribute to a solution of the opiate crisis which I have seen devastate the lives of people of all ages.
