Medical Comorbidity
The interface of other medical problems and mental health is significant
Medical Comorbidity
Lithium interactions. CYP liver enzymes. Respiratory suppression. Cardiac arrhythmia risks. Malabsorption. Asthma exacerbation. We speak this language. We do “the hard things”. We understand the interface of simple to severe medical conditions and the impact that the illness has on anxiety and depression, as well as the havoc that can be created when psychiatric medicines are either mistakenly used, used unsafely,
or inappropriately avoided due to fear of or inexperience with potential interactions.
When your health is on the line; when you have mental health concerns that feel challenging to address, impossible to address, or inadequately addressed due to co-existing medical concerns, please consider letting us lean into this with you. We offer collaborative care with internal medicine, primary care, specialists and subspecialists to offer you comprehensive and collaborative health care to meet both your physical and mental health needs. Your mental health is important, and addressing mental health concerns safely is critical.
When the road is complicated, please consider allowing us to partner with you and your health care team to smooth the path to better health.
