From mild to severe cases, it’s crucial to provide high-quality care for the full spectrum of mental health needs. Unfortunately, care for the most severe cases often slips through the cracks due to difficulty quickly accessing high-quality care, lack of in-between session support, and follow-up appointments leaving the individual who is suffering back to where they started. In this session, join Smita Das, MD, Ph.D., MPH, Medical Director of Psychiatry at Lyra Health to learn how Lyra offers a unique, hands-on approach to mental health medication prescribing to support even the most severe cases.
