How does the medication management process work?
Medication management starts with a comprehensive evaluation of patient. (This includes review of medical history with current and previous medication to identify potential problems)
Evaluations sometimes include diagnostic testing and symptom-rating on a scale, but every diagnostic evaluation is unique based on your individual symptoms and personal challenges.
After evaluation, established diagnosis and treatment options are reviewed with the patient. Psychotropic medication may be prescribed to help equalize brain neurotransmitters, the brain chemicals that play a pivotal role in controlling your moods, memories, motor skills, and other vital aspects of day-to-day functioning.
This follows with developing a plan to optimize patient’s medication which may include adjusting dosages, changing medications, or providing education on potential risks of wrong medications.
Our dedicated staff closely monitor medication usage to ensure they are taken correctly and at the appropriate dosage.
Medication management and psychotherapy provide a comprehensive treatment path for wellness, and both are available through convenient telepsychiatry.
