Medication for Mental Illness
Medication is an important part of treatment for mental illness. And it can benefit many people, especially those diagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, just to name a few mental health disorders.
If your Thriveworks psychiatric nurse practitioner does prescribe you a medication, you must meet with them in regular sessions (usually monthly). In these meetings or check-ins, you will talk to your psychiatric provider about how the medication is working for you or how it is not working for you. If you’re suffering from negative side effects that outweigh the positive effects, your provider can help you find another medication that is a better fit.
No matter the prescription, your psychiatric provider will explain exactly how you should take your medication, including how often and what time of day. If you ever have any questions, please don’t be afraid to ask. There are no dumb questions, and your provider will be happy to answer them.
