“Every single one of us is a distinctive human being with an extensive variety of individual experiences which have shaped our unique character to create the person that we are today. Previous failure to respond to a medication is not a limitation to your treatment. I will focus in finding the right medication and treatment options which you can tolerate and benefit from. I look forward to the opportunity of working with you…”
