Background:
Nick
Schwartz,
M.D. is
a
graduate
of the
Yale
University
School
of
Medicine.
He
completed
training
in
Psychiatry
at the
University
of
Washington
Medical
Center
in
Seattle
and has a
private
practice
in lower
Manhattan..
Philosophy
of
Treatment:
"Many
people
enter
treatment
because
they
feel sad
or
anxious
all the
time and
can’t
figure
out
why.
They
feel
they
have
tried
everything
to make
it
better
and
nothing
is
working.
Frequently
the
answer
is that
we all
unknowingly
repeat
certain
patterns
of
relating
to
ourselves
and
others.
We have
thoughts,
feelings,
and
behaviors
that
make
sense to
us, but
can
leave us
with
unsatisfying
relationships.
Without
satisfying
relationships,
it is
hard to
be
happy.
"At the
heart of
these
patterns
of
interacting
are
one’s
emotional
responses.
Therefore,
I pay
special
attention
to
emotions
in the
work I
do. By
bringing
their
unhealthy
thoughts
and
emotions
into
awareness
and
sorting
them out,
people
can have
happier,
more
meaningful
lives."
Attention
Deficit
Disorder
(ADD):
Attention
Deficit
Disorder
(ADD) is
a
disorder
of the
brain
that
affects
people’s
ability
to stick
with one
thing
long
enough
to get
it
done.
This
applies
to their
school
work,
employment,
and
their
relationships.
Since it
affects
such a
broad
range of
important
functions,
it can
have a
profound
impact
on their
emotional
life and
self-esteem.
My
treatment
of ADD
involves
three
approaches:
medications
that
have
been
shown
to
help
patients
quickly
become
more
focused
skills
training
to
compensate
for difficulties
in
day-to-day
life
counseling
to
address
emotional
difficulties
that
have
resulted
from
ADD
