Shivana Naidoo, M.D.

In this Episode of TTDN-Dr. Naidoo shares a bit about the process of prescribing a medication.  Too often when families or youth come to a psychiatrist there is an expectation that a medication is a " simple thing."  In fact, deciding to write a prescription, the process of obtaining a medciation, and then finally getting the youth to a place to consider taking medciation consistently entail several different systems and processes.  Tune in as Dr. Naidoo pulls back the curtian on this role of a psychiatrist, and consider these insights when/if you or someone you love is in the process of considering a medication trial.
