Edena Walden
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, MSN, PMHNP-B
Verified
Ideally my patient is as invested in their care as I am. They could have a variety of diagnoses but the thing they have in common is they are willing to give the process time, are open to new ideas, and know there is no magic pill to fix all their problems. My patients want to get to the best version of themselves and are willing to try therapy as well as medications to help them reach that goal. My patient wants an empathetic, listening provider who can guide their care based on the evidence, but tailored to their individual needs.

Most patients I have encountered in a mental health capacity have issues that affect their regular activities of daily living. Which is when most patients begin to seek help.

Some mental health challenges can present with a subtle and insidious onset. While other mental health challenges can present abruptly without warning or precipitating events. This places a unique strain on the persons experiencing these events and can cause difficulty in sustaining significant relationships, jobs, and maintaining stability within family structures. Untreated mental health concerns place an unrealistic ceiling on one’s potential. Those who reach out for treatment are brave, strong, and courageous, as this can be the most difficult step. Your goals of improving your mood and connectedness with others is within reach.
