Medication Management
what is medication management?
While not all patients will be prescribed medication, today's psychiatric medications have been a key piece to most of our patients' health improvements. Our medical team will work individually with you to create a treatment plan for your situation, with a goal to help achieve a successful improvement to mental health challenges and an optimal lifestyle. Ideal medication management requires an accurate diagnosis, beginning with a Blue Umbrella Psychiatry comprehensive assessment.
Once you've been prescribed medication, we will work with you to monitor for effectiveness, as well as side effects making adjustments to your treatment as necessary. Some medications take weeks to witness an impact, as with antidepressants, while those that are used to treat anxiety may begin to have an effect after only hours.
Importantly, medication management is just one piece of the puzzle. Complementary therapy sessions with your Blue Umbrella therapist - or your own therapist - will optimize your mental health and your ability to enjoy your life.
Should medication prove to not be effective, we can offer patients Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).
