Westborough Psychiatry—Psychiatric Services in Westborough, MA
Living with a mental illness is not a recipe for a stressful, overwhelming life. Millions of people in the United States battle some form of mental illness and are able to live full, happy lives. Take the popular movie Silver Linings Playbook, for example. It follows main character Pat as he battles bipolar disorder and tries to reconcile with his ex-wife. Instead, he’s met with a dancer named Tiffany who also struggles with her own battles. The message of the movie is that it’s important to not be afraid of mental illness and by getting the help and support you need, you can live up to your full potential. Pat understands this lesson as he grows closer to Tiffany and starts getting the help he needs.
You have to do everything you can. You have to work your hardest. And if you do, if you stay positive, you have a shot at a silver lining.” – Pat, Silver Linings Playbook

Why Would Someone Need Medication Management?
The potential for medication mismanagement is high, especially if you are taking more than one medication at a time. Whether you’re struggling with a severe degree of mental illness or just need an extra push in the right direction, starting an antidepressant, mood stabilizer, or other medication can greatly help you in your mental health journey. Psychiatrists and Nurse practitioners have the training, education, and knowledge to accurately determine what medication is right for you, how often you should take it, how much you should take, and if you should or shouldn’t eat when taking your medication. Prior to starting a new prescription, be sure to discuss with your provider…
- Any medications you are currently taking
- Any allergies or issues you’ve had with past medications or supplements
- Any questions you have about starting a new medication
- Full understanding of how much and when you should take your medication
If you have been diagnosed with a mental health disorder, it’s important that you seek treatment. Or, if you have been experiencing signs and symptoms of a mental health disorder, it’s important that you get an accurate diagnosis from a mental health professional. At Thriveworks Westborough Counseling, our psychiatrists and nurse practitioners can diagnose and treat many different conditions including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and more. Regardless of your situation, we can help.
