When people go this route, do they still see or talk to another therapist?
I always figured people's chemical imbalances were influenced by behavior. If you just treat the chemical imbalance without addressing the behavior, isn't that rather risky?

Either way, pharmacotherapy is rarely administered alone, usually psychotherapists refer patients to psychiatrists if they believe pharmacotherapy can be beneficial, and with patient's consent they can share notes. He will be that therapist.
I see, thank you for your reply.
All the "behavioral" problems I may have had were largely caused by the underlying imbalance and just stopped once I was on it. Or at least, stopped enough that they are no longer a problem for me, and I think really once a behavior isn't causing issues in your life it is probably hard to classify it as a "problem"
