Medication Management Q & A

What is medication management?

Medication management at Compassionate Psychiatric Services uses medication to reduce symptoms of mental health disorders. Taking medication can improve thought or behavior patterns and help you better function at work, school, or in social situations.

If you take medication, Compassionate Psychiatric Services specialists assess, diagnose, and treat your condition. They review your current medications, closely monitor your progress, look for signs of side effects, and adjust dosages or medicines if needed.

Why might I need medication management?

Your psychiatrist could recommend medication if you struggle with one of the following mental health challenges:

  • Substance abuse disorder
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
  • Eating disorder
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Ongoing stress
  • Schizophrenia
  • Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

What are the different types of medication management?

Your psychiatrist personalizes medication management plans to best match your needs. Different types of psychiatric medications include oral medications, nasal sprays, injections, and even medical marijuana.

The right choice for you depends on the type of mental health challenge you face, its severity, your lifestyle, and your preferences. Compassionate Psychiatric Services offers pharmacogenomic testing to analyze your body’s likely response to psychiatric medication treatments.

Depending on the type of medication your specialist prescribes for you, they monitor you for side effects, compliance, and progress. If you take controlled medications, you require more frequent visits with your provider.

Which mental health treatments are right for me?

Your psychiatrist tailors mental health treatments to give you the most effective outcome. They often pair medication management with individual therapy, family therapy, or marriage therapy, depending on your unique situation. Your provider could recommend you try transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) too.

They may suggest you make healthy lifestyle changes, such as getting regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, eating nutritious foods, keeping stress levels low, getting more sleep, and not smoking or drinking alcohol.
