What is medication management?

Many types of mental health conditions are treatable with medication. When taking medication for a psychiatric disorder, it’s essential to have a qualified mental health provider, like the ones at Mental Health Counseling and Wellness Center, monitoring any pharmacological treatment.

Medication management ensures that the benefits of a medication outweigh the risks and that the treatment aligns with your evolving mental health needs.

Medications can provide the necessary stabilization and reduce the intensity of various emotional responses. The Mental Health Counseling and Wellness Center team carefully adjusts the type and dosage of each medication to minimize side effects and maximize the effect based on your individual needs.

Your provider seeks to use medication responsibly and minimize the possible side effects, as well as educate patients so they understand why they are taking certain medications. This collaborative approach empowers patients to play an active role in their treatment journey, encouraging long-term stability and improved quality of life.

Which mental health conditions benefit from medication?

At Mental Health Counseling and Wellness Center, your provider may recommend medication as part of your personalized treatment plan to address conditions such as:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Psychotic disorders
  

Medication is not the answer to all psychiatric issues. Human beings are both physical and spiritual. However, it can provide some stabilization, reduce the intensity of certain emotions, and alleviate many physical symptoms. Medication is often most effective when combined with therapy, lifestyle changes, and spiritual or emotional support. If you have any of the above conditions, it's important to talk to your doctor to see if medication management can help you.

Which medication is right for me?

Following your initial consultation, your provider may recommend medication to address your specific condition and lifestyle requirements. Some of the most common types of psychiatric medications include:

• Antidepressants
• Anti-anxiety medications
• Antipsychotics
• Mood stabilizers
