In my practice, I prioritize patient-centered care by incorporating supportive treatment methods alongside conventional medical approaches. This includes:
Building rapport and understanding patient needs.
Providing comprehensive information (psychoeducation) about conditions and treatments.
Managing symptoms effectively through medications and complementary therapies.
Offering emotional support and counseling.
Advising on nutrition and dietary plans.
Encouraging self-care practices like exercise and stress management.
Collaborating with a multidisciplinary team for comprehensive care.
This approach ensures holistic care, addressing physical, emotional, and social aspects of health to optimize patient outcomes and quality of life.
