6:30pm - 8:00pm
Join grief specialist, FHF advisor and psychiatrist, Dr. Sid Zisook, named one of the top 20 psychiatrists in the United States by Men’s Health Magazine for this important evening of exploring…
- What are the medications that help us get through loss?
- When is it time to take medication?
- How long should we stay on medication?
- Is medication alone enough to get me through my grief?
- What is “Complicated Grief” and why am I having such a hard time coping?”
“Medication does not take away grief, but rather helps a grieving person preserve the emotional energy needed to cope with feelings…recognizing and expressing the
strong emotions associated with grief is an integral part of healing.”
