A lot of people come to Research
Psychiatric Center or to my office with an expectation of getting an immediate
fix for their problems. It’s understandable, especially in our society,
but decidedly so when you’re feeling intense depression, anxiety, or whatever
symptom or stress you are under. We humans seek pleasure, and avoid
pain. No one wants to feel the pain. Unfortunately, there isn’t a
magic pill to make things instantly better when it comes to mental and
emotional health and wellbeing. Patients frequently ask me to give them
some simple things to keep in mind that apply to all situations, and so I
always give them “The 3 P’s”
