Dr. Judith Bank
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, MA, BSW, Fellowship, BCD, LCSW,
I see the patient several times. Most often I will refer for medication. Some have great difficulty with admitting this disorder so I try to normalize the syndrome before a medication evaluation. I have seen a number of patients where different meds needed to be prescribed. Patience and a careful empathy are essential.
