Treatment Direction

Many individual experiences have shown the  PNP Center that treatment resistant mood challenge involves interaction of several levels of functioning. A treatment plan which involves coordinating several specialty components is necessary in order to provide the level of care needed. The principle mission of the PNP Center is to provide a complete diagnostic plan with follow-up direction for treatment and training. Where possible, for families in distant localities, qualified and/or certified professional recommendations will be given. For local residents, many of the behavioral medicine treatment issues may be provided through the PNP Center in coordination with other recommended services.
