Medical Issues that Can Cause Psychiatric Symptoms

Not surprisingly, many medical problems can cause psychiatric symptoms. After all, the brain is an integral part of the body, and what effects your body necessarily effects your brain. Similarly, medications for other illnesses can cause psychiatric side effects. The Clinical Nurse Practitioners at Manlove Brain + Body Health were originally trained in general medicine, and Dr. Manlove is board certified in internal medicine as well as in psychiatry. This rigorous medical background provides MB+BH practitioners with a robust understanding of the interface between medical problems and psychiatric symptoms. We are happy to work with you, and in collaboration with your other practitioners, to minimize any psychiatric problems caused by other medical problems.
