Seeking a psychiatrist in Philadelphia
Posted: Sat Feb 07, 2009 12:53 pm
I am the mother of an adult son who is presently in need of a good psychiatrist in Philly. He has no medical coverage and must pay out-of-pocket. This concerns him very much.
Is anyone aware of someone very good in the Frankfort Avenue area of Philly? He is receiving counseling but really needs someone who can prescribe meds for depression - legally. He has been through so much. Three years ago my other son, his older brother, died at age 26. He was his role model. He died very suddenly in a boating accident. We were all devasted by it. Last march he lost everything in a fire in his home. That seemed to be the final blow. Shortly after the fire he started on heroine. He has undergone detox in Michigan for heroine addiction and has been clean now since Sept. '08. We would appreciate any help with this. To other parents out there - it is not easy dealing with addiciton. As a mom and a couselor, nothing prepares us for addiction when it is our own children. After losing one son, i can't even think about losing my other son. I deeply appreciate any help with names of someone in the medical field.
