Medication Management

The biology of mental illness has come a long way since psychiatry first started. Phrases like “get over it” or “snap out of it” never seemed to work no matter how many times they were said. We now know that genetics, hormones, and neurochemicals play a role in mental health conditions in addition to stress and everything else going on in your life! Because of this, medications can help.

At RSK Psychiatry, we use up-to-date, evidence-based treatment algorithms to manage anxiety, depression, psychosis, OCD, stress, behavioral problems, irritability, mood fluctuations, and whatever else ails you psychologically. If we come to a mutual decision to start medication, a full discussion about risks, benefits, and side effects will occur before your prescription is written.

Common medication treatments include:

• Antidepressants
• Mood stabilizers
• Antipsychotic
• Anxiolytics (anxiety medication)
