When psychiatric meds work well, it can be nothing short of miraculous. Yet so often, patients accumulate a long list of med failures, leading to a sense of deep frustration and even hopelessness.

Here Dr. H explores five central reasons why psych meds fail:

1. Misdiagnosis, largely due to  overlapping and confusing diagnostic categories and the general lack of a coherent nosology in psychiatry
2. The role of trauma as the great imitator
3. Sleep issues
4. Hormonal status
5. Confused and/or unreasonable expectations
