Call 888.890.7141 to learn how we incorporate medication management into our teen therapy when appropriate.
When Is Medication Management Necessary?
Medication can play a key role in treating mental health conditions when symptoms significantly impact a teen’s daily life. Issues like severe anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or mood disorders may require professional intervention to regain balance. Psychiatric medication management ensures a safe, carefully monitored approach, addressing symptoms and supporting your teen’s overall mental health.
It’s natural for parents to feel uncertain about medication. At OHCAW, we take the time to explain every step, provide education on its benefits and potential side effects, and help you make informed decisions about your child’s care.
Our Adolescent Psychiatry and Medication Management
Our experienced adolescent psychiatry team specializes in the unique developmental needs of teens. We provide personalized care plans that combine medication therapy management with counseling or therapy for a holistic approach. Our goal is not just symptom control but addressing the root causes of mental health challenges.
Through individualized psychiatric assessments, we determine whether medication is beneficial for your teen and create a safe, effective treatment pathway. We work in partnership with families to help teens feel understood and empowered throughout their care.
Could My Child Benefit from Medication Management?
As a parent, it’s essential to watch for patterns of behavior that could signal a need for medication management:
- Persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or anxiety
- Increased irritability or anger
- Difficulty focusing or staying on task
- Changes in appetite and sleep patterns
- Suicidal thoughts or self-harm behaviors
If you notice any of these symptoms in your teen, reach out to OHCAW for a comprehensive evaluation. Our team will work with you to determine the best course of action for your child’s mental health needs.
A Comprehensive Approach to Medication Therapy Management
At OHCAW, medication therapy management goes beyond prescribing. Regular follow-ups, collaboration with therapists, and ongoing evaluations ensure the medication remains effective and aligns with your teen’s progress. We emphasize open communication to track changes, address questions, and fine-tune treatment as needed. Our comprehensive approach ensures your teen receives the best care possible.
