Q I already see a psychiatrist and it feels like a lot to also visit a Korean medicine clinic regularly. How often do I need to come?
A Every 2–4 weeks is typical at first, and once stable, this can be reduced to once a month. Scheduling your psychiatry and Korean medicine visits on alternating weeks helps distribute the burden.
Detailed Answer
Visit frequency at the Korean medicine clinic depends on your current episode state and stage of treatment. During early episodes or when residual symptoms are significant, starting with bi-weekly visits and adjusting to monthly as you stabilize is common. Scheduling psychiatry and Korean medicine visits on alternating weeks means two monthly medical touchpoints cover both institutions without doubling up.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
What matters most is responding quickly when episode warning signs appear. Beyond regular appointments, if you notice changes in sleep or mood, please contact us first and we will coordinate your schedule accordingly.
