The Dangers of Self-Medication

Self-medication can be dangerous. Interpretation of both signs and symptoms of the illness and side-effects are jobs for the professional. For all cases, the prescription and management of medication must be done by a responsible physician working closely with the patient and their mental health professional. This is the only way to ensure that the most effective use of medication is achieved with minimum risk of side-effects or complications.
