Medication management involves the careful prescription, monitoring, and adjustment of psychiatric medications to address symptoms and improve the individual’s overall mental health. Psychiatrists consider factors such as the specific diagnosis, the severity of symptoms, the individual’s medical history, and any potential side effects or interactions with other medications.

It’s important to note that medication management is often used in conjunction with other forms of mental health treatment, such as psychotherapy or counseling. The combination of medication and therapy is known as a holistic or biopsychosocial approach, aiming to address both the biological and psychosocial aspects of mental health.
