Yes, I needed medication management to help me with severe depression. It was more than a regular doctor was willing to manage. It was initially a scary prospect, but I had the kindest, gentlest pdoc who was great about explaining things to me and listening to my input and needs. I think I may miss my pdoc more than my therapist just because he was such a sweet man; a real gentleman and highly knowledgeable and skilled with medication management. He saved my life more than once.
