Description

No one plans to be uncomfortable, ill, or emotionally and physiologically exhausted. Unfortunately, the symptoms arrive unannounced and stealthily-much like an ambush that interrupts one’s focus elsewhere. And if that were not enough, the search for a mental health professional can be a daunting, intimidating, and frightening process. In “Give and Take: A Roadmap to Understanding a Psychiatrist,” a seasoned psychiatrist shares guidance, advice, and tips on how prospective patients can engage in a healthy relationship with a doctor, ensuring a thorough evaluation and the formulation of a successful treatment plan.

Dr. Stephanie Hathaway Mullany practiced psychiatry full-time for over thirty years and relies on her diverse professional and personal experiences to provide valuable information for making informed decisions regarding appointments, clinical conditions, and treatment options. While dispelling myths and stigmas associated with psychiatric illness, Dr. Mullany offers an intriguing insider’s glimpse into the compelling research that helps psychiatrists formulate a unique treatment plan for each patient.

An initial visit for psychiatric diagnostic and treatment assessment is often a journey into unfamiliar territory. “Give and Take: A Roadmap to Understanding a Psychiatrist” takes the scary out of the unknown and guides prospective patients through the process of taking charge of their mental health.
