Psychiatric Medication Management
- Initial Assessment: Comprehensive evaluation by a licensed psychiatrist to determine the need for medication based on symptoms, medical history, and current mental health status.
- Prescription Services: Evidence-based prescribing of psychiatric medications, including antidepressants, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, anti-anxiety medications, and others as clinically indicated.
- Education and Counseling: Detailed guidance on medication purpose, dosage, potential side effects, and expected outcomes to empower patients in their treatment journey.
Ongoing Monitoring
Regular Follow-Ups: Scheduled appointments (in-person or telehealth) to monitor medication efficacy, side effects, and overall mental health progress.
Symptom Tracking: Use of standardized tools and patient-reported outcomes to assess treatment response and identify any emerging concerns.
Lab Testing: When necessary, ordering and reviewing lab tests to monitor medication levels, organ function, or other relevant health markers (e.g., liver function for certain medications).
Medication Adjustment
- Dosage Optimization: Fine-tuning medication dosages to maximize therapeutic benefits while minimizing side effects.
- Medication Switches: Transitioning to alternative medications if current treatment is ineffective or causes intolerable side effects, with careful cross-tapering to ensure safety.
- Polypharmacy Management: Reviewing and simplifying complex medication regimens to reduce risks of interactions and improve adherence.
