Psychiatry and Medication Management: Finding the Right Balance for Mental Wellness

It’s no secret that mental health challenges like depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are increasingly common. Yet, finding effective treatments that bring lasting relief can be a complex journey. 

At Ketamine Health & Wellness Clinics of Ohio, our mental health experts understand that achieving the right balance in your psychiatric care — which can include medication management — is one of the most vital aspects of mental health treatment.

The role of psychiatry

Psychiatry helps our team as trained professionals understand and treat mental health conditions. When you visit our clinic, we take a comprehensive look at your history, symptoms, and personal circumstances. 

We can create a tailored treatment plan with a holistic approach, allowing an in-depth look at your unique needs, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all strategy. We aim to promote your mental wellness by treating the whole person, not just your symptoms.

Medication management: Personalized care

This is a key component of psychiatric treatment, ensuring that patients receive the most effective medications at the right dosages. Medications like antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and anti-anxiety drugs have proven life-changing for many, but they also come with side effects, the risk of ineffectiveness, or interactions with other medications. 

Though our team generally doesn’t prescribe benzodiazepines — such as Xanax®, Klonopin®, and Ativan® — we can offer a medication management evaluation. 

This service includes all types of psychiatric prescriptions, from traditional treatments to innovative options like Spravato® for treatment-resistant depression and intravenous (IV) ketamine. We review evidence-based treatment options with you and help you make the best choice for your care.

Ketamine therapy: A breakthrough in mental health treatment

At our clinic, our patients receive careful psychiatric evaluations to determine if ketamine or Spravato® treatment is appropriate. We often combine these therapies with counseling and other supportive practices to maximize effectiveness. 

Medication management is especially important here, as ketamine treatment must be precisely tailored to each patient’s needs. Our comprehensive approach may also involve adjusting other medications to ensure a harmonious and effective treatment plan.

Striking the right balance

Ultimately, the goal of medication management in psychiatry is to help you achieve a balance that leads to long-term mental wellness. This involves ongoing communication between you and your healthcare team to adjust treatments as needed. 

Our clinic specializes in holistic and innovative approaches, and we’re well-equipped to offer personalized care that considers both traditional and cutting-edge treatments.

Mental wellness is a journey, and finding the right balance between different therapeutic approaches can make all the difference. If you or someone you know is struggling with persistent mental health challenges, call our office in Dublin, Ohio, at 380-214-1636, or book an appointment online now.
