Looking for a Psychiatrist for Antidepressants, Anti-Anxiety Medication or other Mental Health-Related Prescriptions?
At Start My Wellness, you have access to well-trained and experienced psychiatric mental health Nurse Practitioners (NPs) who can prescribe medications and answer any questions you might have about the role of medication in your mental health. Our NPs offer services that are similar to Psychiatrists. We can usually accommodate a psychiatric evaluation at our Ferndale office (close to downtown Royal Oak) within 1 or 2 weeks of your call.
