What is medication management?

Medication management at Brain Revive Psychiatry, LLC, involves Alison ensuring your mental health medications work as designed. Medications can be beneficial if you desire to take back your life from a mental illness. She monitors you periodically to make sure your treatment plan effectively optimizes your mental health, mood, and quality of life.

Which conditions does medication management address?

At Brain Revive Psychiatry, LLC, Alison offers medication management to treat the following conditions:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• Bipolar disorder
• Mood disorders
• Substance use disorder
• Eating disorders
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Phobias
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Grief 

Symptoms of a mental health disorder include difficulty concentrating, ongoing fear, worry, sadness, anxiousness, and problems at work, school, or in relationships. 

You might experience panic attacks, a loss of interest in favorite activities, nightmares, flashbacks, obsessions, compulsions, or thoughts of suicide.

Common causes of mental health challenges include past trauma, a family history of mental health conditions, extreme stress, the loss of a loved one, or financial issues. If you have a first-degree relative with a mental health disorder, your risk of developing one is higher.

What can I expect from medication management?

The initial medication management visit with Alison consists of discussing your current concerns and assessing psychological, biological, social, and developmental factors that contribute to mental health irregularities. 

She also will suggest genetic testing if needed to establish which medicines are likely the best for you and personalizes a care plan that includes new medications or altering your current medicines or their dosages.

In addition to medication management, Alison offers in-person or virtual lifestyle coaching and psychotherapy that help you make the behavioral changes needed to live your best life without symptoms. You should plan on on-going medication management appointments with her as recommended.

Medication management can improve your lifestyle habits, moods, emotions, and behaviors. You have a higher chance of thriving at work, school, and in relationships. 

Alison takes a holistic approach to medication management, as her treatment plans include medications when necessary to maximize your quality of life with suggested OTC supplements.
