Medication Management

When should I start taking medication is one of the most frequent questions patients have. There are several factors that can play into answering this question, but one of the easiest ways we have found to help patients make this decision is to look at how much their symptoms are impacting their lives. If your symptoms have started to impact your work or school performance, personal relationships, or if you no longer find excitement in things you previously enjoyed, this could be an indication that medication may be helpful.

We've also found that people often experience subtle symptoms of depression, anxiety and other mental health conditions that they don't always associate with their illness. During your appointments we always ask about these symptoms because if we know about them, we can help you move towards maximal mental and emotional wellness.

The use of psychiatric medications is one element of treatment that can be used to help with symptoms, but it's important to consider your unique genetic makeup, response to medications and other factors that may complicate your care. We’re here to support you in taking control of your mental health.

Understanding Medication Management

The activity of particular brain regions is one of several elements that affects how people with mental diseases present with symptoms. Medications work by balancing key neurotransmitters to reduce symptoms, or sometimes, to relieve them completely.

The mental health providers at NuMedical & Psychiatry Clinic will conduct a thorough clinical assessment to determine which medication is best suited for each patient. They take into account a number of things, including potential familial reactions to similar drugs. Every time, we go over potential side effects and assist each patient in thinking through their treatment options.

Understanding Medication Management

When prescribed as a part of a comprehensive treatment plan, medications frequently work best. In some situations, taking medication might lessen symptoms, making other treatment techniques more effective.

For example, medication can ease symptoms of depression like loss of energy and lack of concentration, allowing an individual to engage more in talk therapy. Your solution may involve family counseling or psychotherapy to help with problems that medication alone can't manage.

At NuMedical & Psychiatry Clinic, medication is always tailored to each individual. Partner with us and our specialized mental health professionals to determine if medications may be a helpful component of your treatment plan.

Some patients may find it helpful to utilize prescription medicine as a component of their overall treatment plan to help them cope with the difficulties brought on by their mental, emotional, and/or behavioral issues.

Because no two mental health conditions are the same, our team is aware that no two treatment methods will be the same. We will always take into account the fact that each of us has a particular life story and set of circumstances that have shaped who we are while developing your treatment plan.

We want to remind our patients that there is nothing wrong with obtaining the treatment they need, despite the stigma that surrounds the use of medication for mental health disorders.

A person with a mental illness should not avoid taking medication if it will help them feel their best, just as a person with diabetes would not deny themselves of insulin if it was necessary to manage their condition. To ensure your complete piece of mind, we will work closely with you at every stage to identify the best treatment option for your particular condition.

Don't deprive yourself the care you need by dismissing medication, which can significantly improve your mental health.
