Psychiatric medications can be an important intervention, even life-saving, in mental health treatment. However, they are best utilized within a comprehensive treatment plan along with lifestyle interventions.

By themselves, they are not a cure, but they can be a valuable tool to help you to achieve and maintain mental health and wellness.

Utilizing psychiatric medication is a personal choice, and we are here to empower you with information.

We will work with you on the following:

• • Decide if medication is the right choice for you at any given point in time.
  • Review and decide what medication option(s) are the best fit for your symptoms and needs.
  • We will review with you the risks and benefits of medication treatment as well as other treatment options.
  • We will help guide you through the process of stopping or changing medication as appropriate.
  • We begin this process with a Psychiatric Diagnostic Evaluation and thorough Bio-Psycho-Social History. This allows us to look at the whole picture. This is why we spend extra time at the first visit.
