Medication alone, or in tandem with talk therapy, plays a vital role in treating many mental health disorders. Finding the right medication to effectively manage the symptoms of disorders such as ADHD/ADD, depression and anxiety requires the expertise of a highly trained psychiatrist.
People don’t always react to psychiatric drug treatment the same way. What works for one person may not work for another. This variability makes medication management an essential part of psychiatric medical care and another reason to choose your psychiatrist with care.
At Online Psychiatrists, you’ll find a wide range of mental health services for those living in New York, New Jersey and Florida. These services include prescribing and managing psychiatric medications. Some types of medicine can be prescribed through telepsychiatry, while others may require in-person visits.
Medication management is a delicate process and part of your treatment. It involves a series of steps:
- Evaluating your need for psychiatric medication in mental health treatment
- Choosing one of the many available medication options
- Monitoring your use of the prescribed drugs
- Making adjustments to the type of medication and dosage as needed
- Verifying the outcome of your treatment
The initial medication and dosage prescribed are usually based on what has worked for others with similar symptoms. Your doctor can pinpoint the correct dosage after you take your medicine as prescribed. During your next visit, you have to provide feedback on how effective the prescribed drugs were in relieving your symptoms.
Your psychiatrist generally starts your medication at a low dose and gradually increases it to find the dosage that best relieves your symptoms. Your doctor may adjust the dosage or choose a different type of medication if the current prescription doesn’t seem to be helping. Changes in dosage or delivery may also be recommended if you aren’t taking the medication as prescribed.
