If you are diagnosed with disorders such as depression, anxiety, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), you may need a combination of psychotherapy approaches to effectively manage your symptoms.
Treating mental illnesses sometimes means adjusting your lifestyle or addressing underlying issues with a therapist. Medication management also plays a critical role in your mental health treatment plan where therapy alone is not yielding the optimal outcome. For a lot of people, using medication management to control or change brain chemistry is an effective tool for mental health transformation or maintenance.
At Great Minds Psychiatry PLLC, our provider uses a full range of treatment methods to address and support your mental health, including prescription medications. Talk to your scheduled provider about how you could benefit from medication management for your psychiatric symptoms.
Antidepressants and other psychotropic medications can address persistent low mood, mood swings, and other problems related to emotional regulation. With the right medication or combination of medications, you can recover your positive mindset.
Some mental health issues such as depression and other mood disorders, affect energy levels, leaving you consistently drained, or struggling to handle wide variations in energy levels. Medication management is one of the effective ways to keep energy levels properly regulated, protecting you from significant swings by targeting the chemicals present in your brain.
Mental health disorders like OCD present with irrational negative thought cycles keeping you looped with anxiety, suspicion, or compulsive behaviors. Certain psychotropic medications may be able to disrupt these harmful mental cycles, giving you relief from those symptoms.
The practitioner at Great Minds Psychiatry will work with you to find the right medication or combination of medications and appropriate dosage for your condition. Your provider monitors you regularly, assessing your symptoms and can recommend adjustments as needed as part of your medication management support. We begin medication management by ensuring that you have the correct diagnosis following a psychiatric diagnostic evaluation.
