Therapist Interview - A Medical Insight

I received my first interview from somebody in the medical field today, as I interviewed Mr. Bob Alan Clifton, over the phone. He is a therapist Topeka who acts as a mediator between patients and psychiatrist. He works with patients who are first beginning to question the possibility of seeking a diagnosis for their symptoms.

He talked to me over the phone, and discussed how he talks to patients about their symptoms, and the process that he goes through when considering a diagnosis. He seemed to be more cautious and conservative than the therapists who diagnosed the sources in my story. He said he usually doesn't make a diagnosis or suggest medication until the second or third meeting with his patients.

This further sparked my curiosity about the diagnosis process and why they are so incredibly different between different doctors.

Anyways, he dealt gave me some good information from a therapists point of view, and I felt it was interesting that he seemed more cautious with his patients, as if somebody finally understood that the medication that children are going on now for school work is incredibly powerful.
