Medication Management

Medication management is ongoing psychiatric care focused on prescribing, monitoring, and adjusting psychotropic medications to effectively treat mental health conditions with minimal side effects. After an initial psychiatric evaluation, medication management involves regular follow-up appointments (typically 15-30 minutes) to assess medication effectiveness, monitor side effects, adjust dosages, and manage interactions. Commonly prescribed medication classes include SSRIs/SNRIs for depression and anxiety, mood stabilizers for bipolar disorder, stimulants and non-stimulants for ADHD, antipsychotics for psychotic disorders and mood augmentation, benzodiazepines for acute anxiety (short-term), and sleep medications.
