Mental Health Articles
At Adult Psychiatric Care Center, we believe
that an educated, involved individual receives the most from
their health care. The web site, www.webmd.com,
is a very useful resource for learning about mental health
conditions. Here are links to a few articles we recommend.
At the end of each article, WebMD includes cross-referencing
articles to help as well.

Why don't you take insurance?
We have decided not to be involved with insurance companies. Taking insurance would result in the following inefficiencies:
- Difficulty scheduling appointments convenient to the patient
- Brief office visits
- Long waits in full waiting room
- Difficulty getting return phone calls from doctor
- Overall poor patient care and administrative service
Our service is more personal and responsive to our patient's needs. We are the alternative to the insurance system.
