I know this is not easy, but taking the first step is a part of the journey. I like to always set the expectation where it needs to be set. Psychiatric help is slow and takes time, but through each step, we will get closer to your goal. I want this to be a together process, we will figure this out. Currently offering Spravato (esketamine) treatments.
