Medication

I emphasise my belief in a multi-disciplinary / holistic approach to the treatment of depression and anxiety issues. I see the role of the General Practitioner as an essential contribution to the therapeutic process. The research has shown that Cognitive Behaviour Therapy works effectively on it’s own and in conjunction with medication. I am more than willing to discuss and explore the option for medication, but the final decision will lye with you and your General Practitioner. If you are unsure about what to say to your GP, or don’t have a current doctor patient relationship, I am happy to suggest a referral, and if required send a letter of explanation.
