As a psychotherapist, I often confront the debate about using medication to treat depression and anxiety in my NYC therapy practice. It is a big question. There’s a perception at times that because we practice a non-diagnostic approach, are critical of the medical model and express concern about how antidepressants and other psychiatric medications are marketedRead more
It’s Not Always Postpartum Depression: Postpartum Anxiety In Therapy
We need to talk about the postpartum anxiety that I see in my NYC therapy practice. Postpartum anxiety is more than worry or nerves.
