Luckily, licensed and experienced mental health professionals such as counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists are able to help you through your journey no matter how tough.

If we start being honest about our pain, our anger, and our shortcomings instead of pretending they don’t exist, then maybe we’ll leave the world a better place than we found it.” – Russell Wilson

What Is Medication Management?

Medication management is quite simple – your psychiatrist will work with you to ensure you’re taking the right medication, at the right time of day, correctly. Working with a licensed psychiatrist or nurse practitioner has benefits that go beyond just taking the right medication. They can also determine when you might need to up your dosage, decrease your dosage, and switch to a different medication if something isn’t working. If you are prescribed a medication, make sure to:

• Let your provider know about the medications or supplements you are currently taking
• Talk about any allergies or negative reactions you’ve had with any medications in the past
• Understand how much medication you need and when to take it before you start using it
• Call your provider if you are having any problems or concerns about your medication
• Ask your psychiatrist any questions you have prior to starting something new

Most people assume that only the most severe mental health conditions require medication. However, that is not always the case. You may not have the most severe case of depression, but you could still benefit from the help of medication to pull you out of your rut. Antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and other psychiatric medications can benefit people with conditions like:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Adjustment disorders
• Other mood disorders

If you are battling a mental health condition and feel like you could benefit from getting the help of an online psychiatrist, consider reaching out to our office. We’d love to work with you.
