When to See Both
In some cases, you might benefit from both therapy and medication. Our counsellors, mental health nurses and physicians/psychiatrists often work together, with counselors focusing on talk therapy and physicians and psychiatrists handling diagnosis and medication management. For instance, if you have moderate depression or anxiety, therapy can provide coping skills while a physician or psychiatrist can provide a diagnosis and may manage any necessary medication.
