Bridget Lennon, Nurse Practitioner of Psychiatry

During a psychiatric evaluation, Bridget will carefully assess your symptoms, medical history, and any previous treatments you have tried. Bridget will also consider any potential side effects and other factors that may impact medication effectiveness. Together, you and Bridget will discuss the treatment options and make a shared decision about whether medication is appropriate for you.

If medication is recommended, Bridget will discuss the potential benefits and risks, as well as any alternative treatments that may be available. Bridget will work closely with you to develop an individualized medication plan and will monitor your progress closely to ensure the medication is working effectively and to manage any side effects.

It's important to note that medication is not always necessary or appropriate for everyone. Bridget will consider your specific needs and preferences when making treatment recommendations. Bridget will also discuss the potential benefits of psychotherapy, lifestyle changes, and other non-medication approaches that may be effective in managing your symptoms.
