About the webinar:

When you visit your doctor, it is not unusual to be nervous and unwilling to ask questions about your treatment. Your doctor may prescribe psychiatric medications without explaining the reasons for taking them or their potential benefits, side effects, or other available treatment options. You have the right to know this information so that you can make an informed decision before accepting or refusing treatment. Join this webinar and learn about your right to informed consent and how to collaborate with your doctor to get the treatment that is right for you.
