The most important fact that the patient needs to understand is that the patient is in charge of the treatment.

The patient should know more about his treatment and his medications than the doctor. The doctor knows more about medicine and the practice of medicine than the patient. However, the patient need only study his mental illness and his medications while the doctor has to study all medications and all mental illnesses as well as the medical illnesses that patients bring into the doctor's office.
