Psychiatric medication management involves the careful and continuous oversight of medications prescribed for mental health conditions. It is a process led by experienced psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners. The goal is to optimize the benefits of psychiatric medications, reducing or resolving symptoms while minimizing any potential side effects.
This process begins with an initial evaluation to establish treatment goals. Your provider will then select suitable medications, determine the appropriate dosage, and closely monitor the response, making adjustments as necessary. Regular follow-up sessions are scheduled to assess how you’re responding to your medications, address any concerns, and ensure your overall improvement, and achieve your goals.
