WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY...

“I had never realized how much alcohol was affecting my life until I started working with April Wilson. Through her non-judgmental approach, I was able to begin examining what was happening, not just to me, but to all the people I loved. It wasn’t easy, but I felt like I had someone who was there to help each step of the way, and now I’ve started to get my life back.”

Psychiatric Medication


There are six main groups of psychiatric medications.

Antidepressants, which treat disparate disorders such as clinical depression, dysthymia, anxiety, eating disorders and borderline personality disorder.

Stimulants, which treat disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and narcolepsy and suppress the appetite.

Antipsychotics, which treat psychoses such as schizophrenia and mania.

Mood stabilizers, which treat bipolar disorder and schizoaffective disorder.

Anxiolytics, which treat anxiety disorders.

Depressants, which are used as hypnotics, sedatives, and anesthetics.

All must be prescribed by a licensed physician. Generally, use of psychiatric medication together with traditional psychotherapy can help a person achieve mental wellness when one or the other alone is not sufficient.
