Adam C I came to Dr. Spirt racked by bi-polar high highs and low lows. She patiently worked with me, getting my medication sorted out in a way that it’s never been before. I’m now happily in remission for the first time in my life! Thank you, Dr. Spirt!
Martha L. I am new to blogging. Not sure of the rules. Who sees it? Am new to psychopharmacologists. Yet I have found the experience working with you very helpful. I appreciate that you have listened carefully to my complaints on the side effects of the meds and adjusted them. While I feel more present I am anxious about the future. I will save it for a therapist. I would recommend you to others easily.
Christina T I think in the minds of most patients, there is not such a cleardistinction between talk therapy and psychiatry. When I was lookingfor a therapist a few years ago, I started looking up and phoningpsychiatrists, and they would ask me about the medication I wastaking. My PCP is the one who told me that I needed a therapist.Years later when looking for a psychiatrist, I looked up some reviewsand many patients gave terrible reviews to the psychiatrists becausethey felt the psychiatrist didn't care to listen to their problems.And at first, I was guided by these reviews. When I met with mytherapist, she explained to me that although patients are looking forsomeone to talk to, it was not appropriate for a psychiatrist to dothis as he/she is responsible for MEDICATION ONLY. So when I came tosee you, I had that idea firmly placed in my mind.Interestingly enough, my therapist thought that the first report youhad sent her had the tone of a psychotherapist.I think you're a dying breed, Dr. Spirt.
Herbert Blank Thank you so much, Dr. Spirt! I am happy to have the opportunity to discuss my experiences here since you have helped me for quite some time now.When I first became a patient, I had chemical imbalance issues that greatly impaired my ability to maintain successfully my most important professional and personal relationships. I am happy to report that my situations have improved markedly since being under Dr. Spirt's care and prescribed regimens. I feel 1000% better and much more in control of my decisions in my life.
