Question

AI rewrite Another scary aspect is that PCP's now have to take over as Mental Health Doctors because they are scarce. Due to this scarcity, PCP's who do not specialize in Mental Health and a fleeting expertise in this area are now prescribing medications for mental health issues. Most Mental Health drugs need to be trialed to find out if they are working and through this titration process they are titrated up and just as what goes up must come down, they are titrated down. If a patient is placed on a mental health medication and they stop "cold turkey," this can cause a dangerous situation. If these mental health drugs are not treated appropriately they can be dangerous.
