It primarily depends on you and the therapist. It is important to share your concerns in a serious, sincere, and open manner. Only if you are completely honest and open can you expect to receive the best support and advice. You can ask your therapist for a referral to another mental health professional, or, if you prefer, you can call one of the mental health associations for the names of other therapists in your area. If there is little or no change in your symptoms after five to six weeks, a different medication may be tried.
Some people respond better to one medication than another.
Some people also are helped by combining treatment with medications and another form of therapy. Children's services are an important part of any center's program. Children usually respond very well to short-term help if they are not suffering from a severe disorder. I have an elderly parent who has trouble remembering even close members of the family. He is physically still quite active and has wandered off a number of times.
