I've been a psychiatrist for over 30 years and have worked in many areas within the field. I trained during the era when psychiatrists still saw people in psychotherapy and treated them with medications when necessary. Gradually, the psychiatrist's role has shifted away from one as a psychotherapist toward one as a specialist in biological interventions, usually medications. Certainly not every patient asking for help from mental health professionals needs medication, but most patients who need medication or who can benefit from medication can also benefit from focused psychotherapy. I still have this perspective and utilize it as much as possible.
My Philosophy: As a physician, a psychiatrist is in a unique position to be thoroughly familiar with the connection between mind and body. As a mature clinician I have gradually assimilated a seamless model, which integrates mind, spirit and body.
Finding the correct medication for a particular person is both an art and science. Careful attention to the person's experience is essential for a good outcome. Empathy, education, and support are extremely helpful while encouraging the person to continue until the best response can be achieved.
