How to Choose a Doctor
From The TMS Wiki
Finding a doctor to treat your TMS/PPD can be difficult. For starters, most people do not live near a doctor specializing in PPD. This means that most people will be under the care of a doctor that may not be aware of PPD, making finding the right doctor difficult. It is important for a person to educate themselves on their condition and PPD before seeing a doctor. The following are several suggestions and tips on how to find the right doctor for you:
- Understands your condition and is open to a mind body approach
- Is knowledgeable on your condition and wants to help
- Listens well and makes you feel at ease
- Encourages you to ask questions
- Seems honest and trustworthy
- Allows you to disagree
- Is willing to talk with your family and friends
- Is highly thought of in the community
