Medication Management
Psychiatric Medication Management to Help You Feel Your Best
At Flagstaff Ketamine and TMS, we offer traditional psychiatric medication management services to evaluate, prescribe, and monitor psychotropic drugs. While we offer non-medication-based treatments for depression like TMS, traditional pharmaceutical medications can play a role in improving many mental health conditions.
Medication can be very beneficial in alleviating symptoms and is often recommended when symptoms are moderate to severe and have not improved with therapy alone.
Dr. Moore utilizes her vast experience in psychiatry to offer each client a personalized treatment with the goal of maximizing symptom relief while minimizing side effects in a way that fits into your lifestyle.
Sometimes medications can be used for short-term relief of symptoms. In other cases, on-going long-term treatment is required. Some conditions require the use of multiple medications.
Medication Management Process
During your initial assessment we learn about your emotional, physiological, and family history. After meeting with you, we will diagnose any underlying conditions and work on building a treatment plan that may include medication.
Taking your medication as prescribed should be sustainable. We’ll help you learn how to manage the dosages of all medications so that they can work best for you, meet during regularly scheduled follow ups to see how you are feeling and make sure that you are adjusting to your medication well.
We’re here to ensure your success on the road to emotional and mental wellness and are always available to provide support when you need it.
