Offering a non-toxic approach to treating the whole patient. In addition to psychotherapy, Dr. Tarantolo safely helps patients wean themselves off psychotropic drugs.
The person needs a good support network and must be in therapy, preferably with me, but on occasion I will work with another therapist if they are fully on board. I donât think these drugs are used for legitimate âbrain diseasesâ . That doesnât mean that there wasnât anything wrong with that personâs response to lifeâs challenges. The core question is âHow did you get yourself into this mess?! The antidepressants are the easiest, the antipsychotics the most difficult. If the person has had psychotic experiences, we must be very cautious, go very slowly. Qualities needed: courage, love, commitment.
