PERSON-CENTERED APPROACH

Dr. Du appreciates that the experience of taking psychiatric medications touches multiple aspects of one's life.  Medications, though potentially very helpful, at times cause unwanted side effects and mixed results. Depending on your past experiences and background, the idea of taking medications may bring up a number of feelings, including hope and apprehension. Dr. Du also appreciates that each individual is unique. So in addition to using scientific evidence to help guide her recommendations, she will strive to understand you as an individual, physically, mentally, and emotionally, and collaborate with you to find the regimen that best fits your lifestyle.
