Ep 283 Medication in Treatment: An Open Discussion With Dr. Peyman Tashkandi
About this episode
Dr. Cristina Castagnini discusses the role of psychiatric medication in mental health treatment with Dr. Peyman Tashkandi.
Psychiatric medication is often one of the most misunderstood and emotionally charged aspects of mental health treatment, particularly when it involves children, adolescents, and eating disorders. In this insightful episode, host Dr. Cristina Castagnini sits down with Dr. Peyman Tashkandi, a double board-certified psychiatrist, to demystify the role of medication in the recovery process. Dr. Tashkandi explains his human-centered approach to psychiatry, moving beyond "one-size-fits-all" prescriptions to look at the complex biosocial factors that influence a patient's health. Whether you are a parent fearful of the long-term effects of medication on a developing brain or an individual struggling with the medical complexities of an eating disorder, this conversation provides a grounded, expert perspective on why treatment must be comprehensive, collaborative, and deeply compassionate.
