Psychiatric Medication Management

At Family Psychological Services, we recognize the critical role that mental health medication plays in stabilizing symptoms, restoring overall health, and promoting normal brain functioning. We understand that it can be a crucial component of treating mental health conditions, especially when dealing with conditions like ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, or Bipolar Disorders.

Our Psychiatric Medication Management Process

The first step toward prescribing medication is proper diagnosis for your mental health issues. If you’re facing anxiety or mood disorders, consulting with a medical doctor or mental health professional who specializes in psychiatry is key. This specialized expertise ensures that you receive the most appropriate and effective medications tailored to your specific needs.

Our comprehensive approach includes diagnostic testing, which, when combined with psychiatric consultation, enhances our ability to identify and address functional impairments. After all, these impairments can significantly impact various aspects of your life, from work and academic performance to maintaining fulfilling relationships.

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

Initial Evaluation: First, we provide a detailed assessment to understand your symptoms and health conditions.
Diagnostic Testing: This step is used to identify functional impairments and their impact on daily life.
Personalized Treatment Plan: Once we understand your unique mental health challenges, we develop medication and non-medication treatments designed for symptom control.
