What Is Medication Management?
Managing mental health disorders with medication is a nuanced process requiring close attention and adjustments. Dr. David Salvage brings years of experience to his Brooklyn, NY practice, helping patients through both psychopharmacological and psychotherapeutic approaches. Mental disorders can disrupt the intricate balance of neural connections in the brain, affecting thoughts, moods, and behaviors. Pharmaceuticals, like antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, mood stabilizers, stimulants, and antipsychotics, play a crucial role in restoring this balance. However, there's no one-size-fits-all solution; effective treatment often involves a combination of medications and therapeutic interventions.

David Salvage, MD Reviews
Fantastic Psychiatrist - I can't say enough wonderful things about David Salvage. It's extremely difficult to find a psychiatrist who actually listens, takes their time with you and works 'with you' to find the right medication for whatever you are struggling with. David is a gem, and I would recommend him to everyone and anyone who is seeking quality care. David, besides everything I just mentioned is kind, extremely knowledgeable, and has such a calm presence. The office was amazing. It's super cozy and unique, and not sterile like so many other offices I've been to. You will not regret scheduling with him. Thank you, David!
Dr Salvage is a highly intelligent, generous, and sympathetic doctor. He is very gentle, listens intently, and makes you feel as if you are in a partnership aimed toward your best health. I recommend him highly.
I've been a patient of Dr. Salvage for over three years. He is a true professional. He goes out of his way to provide excellent service. Dr. Salvage is a rarity in psychiatry. While he is a medical doctor, he has a highly humanistic manner and approach that makes you feel welcomed as soon as you walk into his office. I highly recommend him.
Dr. Salvage has literally saved the lives of 2 of my family members. He is so kind and caring and his knowledge of psychopharmacology is amazing. Depression and anxiety are difficult to manage long-term and his therapy and med selection has taken us all from some very dark places into a more balanced life filled with happiness. We still struggle, but with Dr. Salvage’s care, we have hope again.
