Frequently Asked Questions Will I have to take medication? Once an assessment is completed, your clinical psychologist presents how he or she feels the problem should be treated with information about the potential benefits and risks of each option offered. At times, a medication evaluation is recommended, but medication is rarely the only recommendation. For many problems, a combination of medication and talk therapy has quicker and longer lasting results. For some conditions medication may be an essential part of treatment while for many problems it is not indicated. As a part of good self-care, we recommend that you have an ongoing preventive care relationship with a primary care physician with whom you can discuss the problems you are having so that the role your physical health has in your problem can be evaluated. |
