Unlock Better Outcomes with MedicationManagement
Effective treatment for many psychiatric disorders often requires a dual approach: combining medication with therapy or counseling. At SANA, our medical team employs this comprehensive method to ensure the best outcomes for our patients.
Managing symptoms of disorders such as ADHD/ADD, depression, and anxiety begins with the right medication. Under the expert care of psychiatrists like Dr. Alice Sanchez and board-certified clinicians, you can experience significant relief through personalized medication management. Unlike the straightforward treatments for conditions like high blood pressure, finding the right clinical path is a collaborative process. We use evidence-based psychiatric evaluations to determine the most effective therapeutic approach for your unique biology, ensuring every adjustment is monitored for safety and efficacy. Whether used alone or alongside talk therapy, proper medication management can greatly enhance your mental health.
Medication management is a delicate process and part of your treatment. It involves a series of steps:
- Comprehensive mental health evaluations and ongoing clinical management for adults seeking a balanced path to wellness.
- Choosing one of the many available medication options
- Monitoring your clinical treatment plan
- Making adjustments to the type of medication and dosage as needed
- Verifying the outcome of your treatment
The initial medication and dosage prescribed are usually based on what has worked for others with similar symptoms. Your doctor can pinpoint the correct dosage after you take your medicine as prescribed. During your next visit, you have to provide feedback on how effective the clinical treatment plan was in relieving your symptoms.
Your psychiatrist generally starts your medication at a low dose and gradually increases it to find the dosage that best relieves your symptoms. Your doctor may adjust the dosage or choose a different type of medication if the current prescription doesn’t seem to be helping. Changes in dosage or delivery may also be recommended if you aren’t taking the medication as prescribed.
Our board-certified clinicians provide personalized treatment plans for a wide range of conditions, including:
Anxiety and Panic Disorders
Depressive and Mood Disorders
Adult ADHD and Focus Support
Comprehensive Symptom Management
A mental health disorder can affect your thinking, mood and behavior. Symptoms of mental illness that affect your ability to function in your daily activities may worsen if you don’t seek treatment. Working closely with a doctor who’s highly trained in the field of psychiatry is the best way to:
- Obtain an accurate diagnosis
- Receive the most effective prescription medicine
- Get the most out of your treatment
If you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, problems with drug or alcohol abuse, extreme mood swings or other mental health challenges, contact Online Psychiatrists. Treatment with prescription medication may help bring your symptoms under control so you can enjoy a better quality of life.
