What Is a Psychiatrist? 

A psychiatrist is a mental health professional, who is also a licensed medical doctor. They’re able to help people manage the symptoms of their mental health conditions, with helpful medication. To be more specific, those who suffer from depression, insomnia, and anxiety—to name a few items on an extensive list—can find value in taking medication.

If you’ve been given a diagnosis of a mental health condition, then it’s important to receive the right form of treatment. Similarly, if you haven’t yet been given a diagnosis, it’s important that you work with a mental health professional to analyze your symptoms and determine what mental health condition you might be dealing with. In either case, a psychiatrist or nurse practitioner at Thriveworks Cambridge can prove helpful. They can help to offer a diagnosis as well as a treatment plan, which might involve medication.

What Is Medication Management? Why Is It Important?

Medication management is important because it helps to ensure that individuals take their medication correctly; managing one’s mental health condition properly relies on this. Also, medication management is important when an individual needs to increase or decrease their dosage. Doing so without a professional’s advisement can have harmful effects on one’s health. Therefore, if you need to work with a psychiatrist or nurse practitioner in regards to prescription medication, be sure to:

• Disclose any and all medications you are currently taking
• Talk about any allergies you have had in the past with other medications
• Understand exactly how much of your medication you should be taking
• Let your provider know if you have any concerns or problems with your medication

The psychiatrists and nurse practitioners at Thriveworks Cambridge are here and happy to help you with medication management. Don’t be afraid to reach out if you could benefit from our services.
