Medication management is a crucial aspect of treating mental-health issues since all medications will not be received or endured by patients in the same way. At our practice, we offer top-notch psychiatry medication management services. Our dedicated psychiatrists can prescribe medication for mental illnesses ranging from anxiety to ADHD to depression.
What Is Psychiatry Medication Management
Psychiatry medication management involves the patient and therapist working together to decide whether or not a medication is a suitable choice for the patient. Some benefits of psychiatry medication management include:
- It is very effective
- It can increase the rate of recovery
- It can provide stability needed for a successful therapy
Procedure For Psychiatry Medication Management
Our specialist starts by asking about your medical history. Our specialist checks whether or not the medication is a suitable option for treating your specific mental health disorder. Based on this analysis, our specialist makes a diagnosis and establishes a treatment plan designed with your particular needs in mind. In this kind of procedure, the decision is left to the patient.
If the patient decides to continue with this treatment, our specialist discusses several medications, possible side effects, and proper dosages. Our specialist prescribes the medication for a trial period to observe and monitor its effectiveness. If the patient finds the treatment satisfying their goals, our specialist will advise that they continue with the medications.
Nevertheless, different medications affect the brain’s chemistry in several ways, so not everyone will respond well to a particular prescription; this might result in side effects such as irritability, nausea, and the inability to sleep. Our specialists prescribe a different medication; this is frequently a trial-and-error process that can eventually result in the appropriate medication for you.
In addition to medication, it might also include other kinds of treatment like life management skills, counseling, and behavioral therapies.
