We encourage you to utilize the resources at www.medscape.com [registration is free]. This site has information relevant to most medical specialties. The psychiatry, family practice, and pediatric sections can be very helpful to parents and patients who need more information about a health concern. Medscape has a very useful Drug Information link, that will allow you to enter the name of a medication and then look up the common doses, drug interactions, side effects and precautions. We encourage our patients to use this resource.

Medscape Psychiatry has excellent articles on the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Spectrum Disorders, Trauma, Post-traumatic Stress disorder, Eating disorders and other topics.

Established patients who find an article of interest that relates to their problem, should bring the article to their next scheduled appointment.

Remember that information on the web does not replace the need for you to discuss your concerns with your regular health provider. We encourage you to discuss any articles that seem relevant to your situation with your provider of choice. Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine does not warrant the content of any article.
