Along with medication management, he also utilize other modalities of treatment, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, supportive psychotherapy, and habit reversal therapy.
Treatment Philosophy
His treatment philosophy includes a bio-psycho-social model, putting greater emphasis on exploring the factors leading to the current problem- in the context of family, interpersonal relationships, and various other psychosocial stressors. Medications are often a very important part of the treatment, but work more effectively in combination with therapy. His approach towards medications in children and adolescents is conservative. When psychotherapy and behavioral interventions are not proven helpful, then medications could be administered in a minimal dose.
