Psychopharmacology

The careful selection of certain medications can enhance and facilitate efficient symptom resolution, particularly when used in combination with psychotherapy. Your treatment team may offer certain medical options to address your symptoms after a careful consideration of your immediate objectives, and your longer term goals.

Prior to the implementation of any medication based strategy to address your symptoms, a thorough discussion will be made regarding the risks and benefits of any medication option that could be helpful for you. Your clinician will follow up with you to assess your response to prescribed medications and create a symptom management plan based on this assessment. Sometimes, certain blood tests or other testing or monitoring is also required for medication assessment.
