POTS and related conditions are not psychiatric conditions, but can have neuropsychiatric symptoms. Nurse Practitioner Tena McLarty PMHNP-C, FNP-C specializes in POTS and comorbid conditions, with a particular interest in neuropsychiatric symptoms both from the conditions themselves and as possible side effects from drugs commonly used in these conditions. In this episode she shares the research findings - plus her personal experiences - relating to common symptoms, underlying mechanisms, potential psychiatric side effects of common drugs used for POTS, her advice for patients, and much more.
