Question

Salzman et al. emphasize the importance of a comprehensive assessment that includes considering other diagnoses and treatments the patient may be using. They do not suggest that patients always require more than one medication or that understanding psychological factors is not important. They also note that the effectiveness of medication can vary widely depending on the individual, so a standard dose may not always be appropriate.
