Medication management is a collaborative process designed to ensure your treatment is safe, effective, and tailored to your unique needs.

Pharmacogenetic Testing

This testing takes the guesswork out of medication management, helping to reduce trial-and-error and improve outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

A psychiatric evaluation is a comprehensive assessment conducted by a qualified mental health provider to understand your emotional, psychological, and behavioral health. It involves discussing your medical and mental health history, family history, current symptoms, lifestyle factors, and any medications you may be taking. The goal is to create a personalized plan of care tailored to your unique needs.

During your evaluation, you will have an in-depth discussion with your provider about:

  • Your mental health history and family history of mental health conditions.
  • Current symptoms or concerns, including their duration and severity.
  • Past treatments and medications you’ve tried.
  • Lifestyle factors, such as sleep, diet, and stress levels.

The provider will use this information to diagnose any conditions and develop an individualized treatment plan, which may include therapy, medication, or other interventions.

Psychiatric evaluations can help diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions, including:

  • Depression and mood disorders
  • Anxiety disorders
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Sleep and adjustment disorders
  • Panic disorder
  • And more

Medication management involves monitoring and adjusting your prescribed psychiatric medications to ensure they are effective and well-tolerated. This process includes regular follow-up appointments to assess your response to medication, address any side effects, and make adjustments to dosage or medication type as needed. The goal is to optimize your treatment plan for the best possible outcomes.

Medication may be recommended if your symptoms significantly impact your daily life or if other treatments, such as therapy, have not been fully effective on their own. During your evaluation, your provider will discuss your options and help you make an informed decision based on your needs and preferences.

Pharmacogenetic testing is a lab test that evaluates how your body metabolizes psychiatric medications based on your unique genetic makeup. This test helps reduce the trial-and-error process of finding the right medication by identifying which treatments are likely to be most effective for you. The test involves a simple mouth swab that can be done at home and provides results within 1–2 weeks.

Follow-up appointments typically occur every 2–4 weeks initially to monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed. Once your treatment is stabilized, appointments may be less frequent, depending on your needs and the provider’s recommendations.
