For the patient with acute depression: he would advice them to get the benefit of psychotropic medicine and psychiatric care.

For the patient who is not in acute episode, either manic or depressive, he would help them to reconstruct themselves while they are in the state of depression. So the time spent in depression is not wasted. His therapeutic strategy is: don’t  get the patient out of depression until they are strong enough to face up to the next round of stressor.

Relationship problems

Couple, marital conflicts, Recurring miss-match problems in dating.

couple therapy with both parties present are 90 minutes session. Within the couple therapy format, I also see each party individually in 60 minutes individual session to work on areas which involve only one party. I prescribe homework between sessions. 

if the patient in a coupling relationship and the spouse/partner is unwilling to engage in couple counseling, I will provide the individual counseling for the suffering patient. Help him/her to deal with marital or coupling stress and engage in a healthier relationship with the partner.  It is important not to respond to the partner’s anger with anger, or sarcasm with sarcasm. He  help his patient find ways to draw out that strength.
