We also emphasize patient education, teaching you about the way your medication works so that you have a clear understanding of the way that it acts on your brain (and, subsequently, mind and body). Psychiatric medications do not act in the same way as other medications, and most patients experience results only after several weeks of treatment. Because of this different timescale, we monitor your progress closely, particularly in that first 6-8 week window of exposure to the medication.
 
While every case is different, in general, patients can expect regular follow-up appointments during that time to monitor their medication, and to determine whether any adjustments are necessary. As a medical clinic—not a therapist’s couch—we evaluate for your specific conditions, and continue our diagnostic process throughout the lifespan of your care.
