Our Psychiatric Medication Management Process
In Moorpark, the first important step before prescribing psychiatric medication is to receive an accurate diagnosis. Whether you’re coping with anxiety, depression, or mood shifts, a consultation with a psychiatrist ensures you’re prescribed the most suitable medication for your needs.
We proudly serve Moorpark residents with a well-rounded care process that includes psychiatric consultation alongside diagnostic testing. This thorough method helps us pinpoint any underlying functional struggles that may be limiting your success at work, in school, or in your close relationships.
Here’s what to expect from the psychiatric medication management process:
Initial Evaluation
We start by evaluating your emotional history and current mental state to guide treatment decisions.
Diagnostic Testing
This allows us to uncover performance issues or emotional patterns affecting your everyday activities.
