Summary
Hello, friends. Thanks for joining me again for another question and answer episode. Wanted to let you know that I've been doing instagram stories over at http://instagram.com/duffthepsych. Check them out if you would like a little snapshot into my day to day life as a psychologist/dad/entrepreneur etc.
Here are the questions covered in this episode:
- I have anxiety caused by Graves disease. I'd like to get anxiety medication to help, but I'm not sure how to talk to my doctor about it. How can I bring it up?
- My father killed himself and I want to get therapy, but I'm afraid that I'll be hospitalized. Should I bother?
- Robert, how do you get so much done when I can hardly find a single moment to myself?
As always you can send me your anonymous questions to duffthepsych@gmail.com and I'll see you next time!
