Living in Amherst
Amherst's historic village and rural neighborhoods are home to many families who commute to Nashua, Manchester or Massachusetts. Parents often ask about anxiety, attention and pressure at school, and adults look for care that fits around work.
Choosing a medication
Your psychiatrist considers your diagnosis, past responses, other medicines, health conditions and preferences, then explains what the medication should do, how long it takes to work and which side effects to watch for.
