What is medication management?

The goal of medication management is to prescribe you one or more medications to help you find relief from your mental health condition. Depending on your needs, we may prescribe medications such as antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, or mood stabilizers. If one antidepressant doesn’t work well or causes side effects, your clinician may adjust the dosage or have you try another medication that may be better suited to your body chemistry.

We understand that everyone is different, and your provider will work with you to create a holistic treatment plan for your condition that may include pairing medication with psychotherapy and/or one of our other treatments, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy or esketamine nasal spray.

We don’t push medications and will inform and educate you about any benefits and risks with your care options.

How does medication mangement work?

Antidepressants work by impacting neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and dopamine, to alleviate the symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders. Like taking an antibacterial medicine for a cold, medications such as antidepressants are taken to make mental illness symptoms more manageable.

Your provider can choose from a variety of antidepressants that act on different neurotransmitters to regulate mood or increase electrical flow among brain cells. Together, we will walk through your medication options and collaborate on making a medication management plan.

Are there any side effects?

There are several different antidepressants and all of these variations may impact your body chemistry differently. You may not experience any side effects with one antidepressant, but you may experience some common side effects with another. It all depends. However, there is a wide range of common side effects that you may experience, including:

Irritability, hostility, aggression, or agitation

Anxiety

Panic

Nausea, diarrhea, or constipation

Restlessness

Dizziness

Diminished sex drive

Sweating

Fatigue or sleepiness

Insomnia

Headaches

Mood swings

Dry mouth

If you experience any of these side effects from a medication prescribed by your provider, it is important to let them know. They will quickly switch you to another medication or try an alternative to medication, such as TMS therapy or esketamine nasal spray. We want you to find relief, and relief does not include uncomfortable side effects.

Your path to treatment

Medication is often one of the first steps in your treatment plan to help you find relief. Your psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner will evaluate you to see if medication might be a good treatment option, and they will often combine it with talk therapy. Your medication management plan may be adjusted if you aren’t finding relief or experiencing any uncomfortable side effects. If that is the case, your provider will talk to you about additional or replacement treatments, such as TMS or esketamine nasal spray.

All treatment plans at Mindful Health Solutions are customized to each patient. Our talented team of clinicians and support staff is dedicated to working with patients collaboratively to find a treatment plan that works for them. Our goal is to help patients find relief in a way that feels good.

Why Mindful Health Solutions for telepsychiatry?

Medication Management FAQs

Medication management is a form of psychiatric treatments that may enhance your emotional, psychological, and social health. It can help address symptoms you experience from any mental health condition you may have.

A psychiatrist has a title that includes MD or DO. They have completed medical school and a four-year residency in psychiatry. They are a licensed physician who became a board-certified psychiatrist after graduating from medical school, passing their title requirements, completing a psychiatry residency, and passing a board exam in psychiatry. Some types of psychiatrists, such as adolescent psychiatrists, are required to complete additional items in order to become certified.

Because psychiatrists are medical doctors, they can prescribe medications and alternative treatments for mental health disorders, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Psychiatrists can provide limited therapy, but most don’t. If they do, it is very little therapy and mostly medication management.
