Psychiatric Medication
Management in West Hills
We at Family Psychological Services acknowledge that medication is an integral part of mental health treatment for many in West Hills. It works to stabilize symptoms, improve brain function, and enhance overall well-being, especially when managing ADHD, anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder.
Our Psychiatric Medication Management Process
A thorough diagnosis is essential before psychiatric medications can be prescribed. If you’re dealing with anxiety or mood-related issues, seeking help from a psychiatrist or medical professional ensures you receive the most effective treatment.
We use a comprehensive approach that combines diagnostic testing with psychiatric consultations to detect functional impairments. These impairments can extend into various areas, from job performance and academics to personal relationships.
Here’s what to expect from the psychiatric medication management process:
- Initial Evaluation: We begin with a deep dive into your symptoms and health background to establish a clear understanding.
- Diagnostic Testing: This step involves structured assessments that help us recognize impairments and their impact on various aspects of your life.
- Personalized Treatment Plan: Once we have a full picture, we devise a targeted plan integrating medication and alternative therapies for symptom stabilization.
