Is your child having behavior difficulties at home or in school? Are they uncooperative or defiant? Medication management of these symptoms can help.
What might psychiatric care look like?
Psychiatric evaluations are individualized, so they vary. But, you can expect to work one-on-one with the psychiatric provider. You’ll probably start by giving background information and explaining the problem. Medical exams and testing (e.g., blood pressure, weight, height, genetic swabs) may be collected as well.
Psychiatry and
Medication Management of
Symptoms for Adults
One in four adults is diagnosed with a mental health condition. Sometimes symptoms can be managed by lifestyle changes alone – like changes in diet, exercise, and healthy sleep routines. Other times, we may need medication to help manage our symptoms.
Psychiatric providers are specially trained to treat mental health disorders (much like a cardiologist specializes in heart conditions). Depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, obsessive-compulsive disoders, sleep disorders, mood disorders, and personality disorders are common disorders that can benefit from medication management of symptoms.
