What is Medication Management?

It’s the dynamic and individualized process of using medications to improve the lives of people with mental health conditions. Medication can help reduce symptoms and allow the patient to engage more effectively in therapy. 

How does it work?

The process begins with a thorough assessment of the patient's symptoms, medical history, and other relevant factors to determine the underlying mental health condition and potential treatment options. 

• If medication is recommended, the provider will monitor the patient’s response during regular check-ins to assess its effectiveness and any side effects. This process may involve trying different medications and dosages until the right combination is found. 

• After a medication is found to be effective, regular check-ins with the provider are essential to track progress, adjust treatment plans, and address any questions or concerns.

• Medication is often combined with psychotherapy to address the underlying mental health condition and improve overall well-being.
