Whether an individual is seeking help for an addiction, a relationship problem, anxiety or depression, my professional approach involves paying more attention to the person who has the symptoms than to the symptoms themselves. When I first see a new patient, I am focused primarily on trying to understand who this person is. By this I mean that I want to know what has happened to this person, and why is he or she suffering so much that it was necessary to seek professional help? This is not the same as asking «what is this person’s diagnosis?» True, most patients come for help because of some symptom (i.e. anxiety or depression), but that is not who they are. I am not treating diseases; I am treating people. So I must get to know them, understand their motivations, their history, so that I can understand precisely why they have become symptomatic.
