Ultimately, I think the history behind the nurse practitioner role is to be a little bit more holistic than a doctor, right? They may not give a lot of time to patients. They don't really perform psychotherapy as they can, and it's in their wheelhouse. I think nurse practitioners, depending on where we're working and what kind of setting we're in, you know, in the mental health space, there could be, you know, a lot of focus on medication management.
Relationships can be a maze, especially when mental health is part of the equation. In this episode of 'Anonymous Andrew', Andrew J.
