Mixing xanax xr with xanax ir?
Is your primary care doctor prescribing the meds or is a psychiatrist? If it is your primary care, have a referral to a psychiatrist who can speak to the issue. READ MORE
Anti-anxiety medicine?
If the meds are in the benzo class, it could affect your studying. May want to talk to your doctors about an antidepressant which also targets anxiety. I would also suggest psychotherapy. READ MORE
Can you go to therapy for stress?
Yes, and can be highly effective. READ MORE
Schizoaffective disorder?
Hello, I would encourage you to discuss the reasons you want one med over the other. A therapist and psychiatrist will explore the full range of options with you. READ MORE

I would consult with your prescribing Doctor. Trazodpne is a medication and would not think of it as a supplement. READ MORE
Gender dysphoria?
I would encourage you to consider therapy with a therapist who specializes in gender dysphoria. There is not a simple response I could give you. READ MORE
I need help?
Consult your doctor. READ MORE
Sleepy?
I would look at your bedtime routine. No caffeine after 3pm, no exercise close to bedtime, get away from tv/phones/tablets, do some relaxation before bed. READ MORE
OCD?
I would recommend talking with your primary care doctor or school counselor if you are still school. Online searches provide a limited scope of insight and often confirm what we are looking for. If your doctor or counselor confirms, it is easily treatable either with talk therapy and/or antidepressant medication. READ MORE

Yes, have your therapist put in a referral to get an MRI of your head. READ MORE

I get weird adrenaline I think?
I would think of this as joy. You seem to get energy from creative collaboration with others. I would suggest embracing it and not think of it as weird. It may be a very healthy coping mechanism as you grow older. READ MORE
Very worried?
I would suggest considering a partial hospitalization program where you have access to services. READ MORE
Understanding individuals' conditions?
Thanks for sharing and asking an important and hard question. Sometimes it is good to switch treatment providers. I have had patients whom did not work well with me, due to style, approaches, and differences. I would suggest asking lots of questions. I would also suggest being open to feedback particularly as you progress through treatment and diagnosis may shift. Some schools of thought in psych say most depression and anxiety is driven by personality issues. Be mindful that diagnosis can differ in terms of severity as your aunt may have more pronounced systems and you may not. Ask about DBT, dialect behavior therapy, as it is a gold standard for personality issues as well as suicidal tendencies. READ MORE
Depression?
I know asking for help can be challenging. There are college counselors that are trained to assist at almost no cost. I would recommend seeking some help. READ MORE
Can a psychologist help with anxiety?
Absolutely. READ MORE
Is CBT better than psychodynamic therapy?
I tend to prefer CBT approaches, but both are equally effective. READ MORE
What is the difference between a psychologist and a neuropsychologist?
A neuropsychologist is a psychologist who specializes in psychological assessments of brain functioning, abilities via psychological testing. All psychologists can do testing and assessments, but neuropsychologists take extra training. READ MORE
