​​What are questions to ask a potential provider?

You can ask how they keep up with the latest research, what kinds of medications they prescribe, if they have a traditional, holistic, or functional approach, and their experience with your symptoms and situation. But remember - good rapport with the provider might be the most important part of your care!

How do nurse practitioners compare with psychiatrists?

Psychiatrists go through medical school, with more hours experience; nurses often work alongside clients before becoming a practitioner. Both are trained on diagnosis and medication treatment and both provide quality care. However, a nurse practitioner's nursing background of partnership, advocacy, and care coordination - taking care of those little details that doctors often hand off - helps a nurse practitioner focus on the whole client to make care easier and more customized to what you need.
