Frequently Asked Questions

What is medication management?

Medication management involves psychiatric evaluation and follow-up visits to select the right medication plan, monitor effects, and adjust over time based on goals and symptoms.

Do I still need therapy if I take medication?

Many people benefit from combining therapy and medication. Your care team can help coordinate services based on what you need.

What should I bring to a psychiatric appointment?

Bring a list of current medications, previous medications tried (if known), and notes about symptoms, sleep, appetite, and any side effects. If you have an insurance card, bring that too.
