Psychological Medication Management in Sherman Oaks

We recognize at Family Psychological Services that medication plays a vital role in the treatment of mental health disorders for patients in Sherman Oaks. It helps stabilize symptoms, restore normal brain function, and support overall health. For conditions like ADHD, anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorders, we understand how crucial medication can be in managing your mental well-being.

Our Medication Management Process

To begin prescribing psychiatric medications, the first and most important step is a precise diagnosis. If you’re facing challenges such as anxiety or mood disorders, consulting with a doctor or psychiatrist who specializes in mental health is crucial. Their expertise ensures you receive the best and most effective treatment for your specific needs.
Our method involves diagnostic testing, which, when used alongside psychiatric consultation, provides us with the insights needed to identify and address any functional impairments. These impairments can have a noticeable effect on various aspects of your life, including your job, academic achievements, and personal relationships.
Here’s what to expect:
  • Initial Evaluation: First, we perform a detailed evaluation to assess your symptoms and health condition thoroughly.
  • Diagnostic Testing: This process helps us identify functional impairments and their impact on your day-to-day life.
  • Personalized Treatment Plan: After understanding your mental health needs, we develop a tailored treatment plan combining both medications and non-medication treatments to control your symptoms.
