Happy New Year!
It is perhaps as good a time as any to reflect on the importance of mental health in general, in the coming year ahead. All of us have been affected by the pandemic; needless to say, especially those already struggling with conditions such as depression or anxiety. The isolation imposed on most of us has challenged our individual ability to cope with solitude and loneliness at times; not to mention the changes in occupation / income, changes in routine and changes in relationships – all of which have prompted some to explore changes in coping skills, for better or worse.
We at Converge continue to be taking new patients in an effort to broaden our outreach; and have expanded our practice to include virtual visits in an effort to extend psychiatric services to all, regardless of geographic location or situation. In-person office visits are still encouraged and available, the choice is always yours.
Change can be difficult, and change in addition to mental health concerns can be a difficult combination. As always, we encourage all of those with ongoing mental health concerns to seek counseling if able, and we are here to do our part in the management of psychotropic medications if/when they are needed for your particular condition.
