Imagine: You’ve been battling anxiety since you were a teenager and have never really gotten the help you have been looking for. Although counseling has helped with your thoughts and behaviors, you still have a hard time getting your anxiety under control. You wish you could drive past your ex’s neighborhood without feeling overwhelmed and anxious and you also wish you could perform your job without the constant fear of doing something wrong or not meeting your due dates. If only there was something else you could do to help your anxiety.
Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way, ask yourself if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future.” –Deepak Chopra
For some people, therapy might just be one tool used in their treatment process. For others, they could also benefit from medication. At Thriveworks Waltham Counseling, we have online psychiatrists and nurse practitioners who can provide their clients with medication management for a range of different mental illnesses. If you feel like you could benefit from working with a psychiatrist, reach out today.
Who Can Benefit from Medication Management?
Medication management is a mental health service that can benefit a multitude of people. No matter if you have a severe or mild case of a mental illness, you could benefit from taking a prescription to better manage your symptoms. The process is quite simple—your psychiatrist or nurse practitioner will work with you to ensure you’re taking the right medication, at the right time of day, correctly. Antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and other medications can benefit people with conditions like:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Adjustment disorders
- Bipolar Disorder
- Other mood disorders
Things to Know About Medication Management
Working with a psychiatrist also goes beyond just taking the right medication for your needs. They can also accurately determine when you might need to up your dosage, lower your dosage, and switch to a different medication if you’re not seeing the effects that you should be seeing. In addition, they will provide you with any and all information you need including the time of day to take your dosage and whether or not you should eat when taking the medication.
At Thriveworks Waltham Counseling, we believe that your mental health should be a partnership. Our psychiatrists are dedicated to having an open and honest relationship with you and encourage you to speak freely with them. So, if you decide to work with a psychiatrist, make sure to:
- Inform your psychiatrist or nurse practitioner about the medications and supplements you are currently taking
- Discuss any allergies or negative reactions you’ve had with different medications in the past
- Fully understand how much medication you are taking and when to take it before you start using it
- Ask any questions you may have before starting a new prescription
- Call your provider if you are having problems or concerns about the prescription you are on
