Psychiatric Medication
Management in Camarillo

At Family Psychological Services, we acknowledge that medication is an important tool in managing mental health conditions for those in Camarillo. It can help bring balance by stabilizing symptoms and restoring brain function, especially for individuals dealing with ADHD, anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder.

Our Psychiatric Medication Management Process

To start the process of prescribing psychiatric medications, the first priority is a thorough and accurate diagnosis. If you’re dealing with anxiety or mood disorders, seeking help from a specialized psychiatrist or mental health professional is essential. Their expertise ensures that you’re given the most suitable medications based on your needs.

Our comprehensive process includes diagnostic testing that helps us identify functional impairments, which, when combined with psychiatric consultation, enable us to understand their impact. These impairments can significantly affect many parts of your life, including work, school, and relationships.

Here’s what to expect from the psychiatric medication management process:

Initial Evaluation: We start with a detailed evaluation to understand your symptoms and health conditions.
Diagnostic Testing: This helps us identify impairments and their impact on daily life.
Personalized Treatment Plan: Based on your specific mental health challenges, we design a treatment plan using both medication and non-medication strategies.
