Blog

The PsychMed Partner blog.

One post a week, written for therapists, on a current question in psychiatry or mental health. Each post is researched from the published evidence, written in plain language, and prints its sources. The posts are professional education. They are not clinical guidance for any individual patient.

How this blog works

The topics come from practice: the medication story in the news that patients keep asking about, the new study that changes what a prescriber watches for, the question a therapist hears in session and cannot answer from the therapy chair. Before anything is written, the claim at the center of the post is checked against the primary sources: the regulator's own publications, the journal articles themselves, and the large studies rather than the commentary about them. Where the evidence is mixed or thin, the post says so in plain terms. A post that cannot be supported by sources does not run.

The four sites in this practice each keep a blog, and the same weekly topic is written separately for each audience. Patients reading the psych.us blog get the combined therapy and medication perspective. Patients reading the PsychMed Care blog get the medication-focused version. This blog gets the version for the clinician across the room: what the evidence says, what belongs in the therapy room, and what belongs to the prescriber. The posts are written by Karel Winner, DNP, PMHNP-BC, whose record is set out on the about page.
