Will you give me a diagnosis or medication?

No. I will not plan to do a mental health assessment or give you a diagnosis even though I usually have to do this in my hospital work. I am also not able to prescribe medication. While I am not ‘anti-medication’ I do believe that in most situations I will be able to significantly help you without relying on psychiatric/personality assessments or medication. However, if it is apparent that you need this I will provide advice, assistance and direction as to where to get it.
