What is medication management?

Medication management is a continuous, personalized approach that helps ensure psychiatric medications are prescribed, monitored, and adjusted safely and effectively as part of your overall mental healthcare. It involves prescribing, monitoring, adjusting, and evaluating medications based on your symptoms, response, and goals. 

At Maynard's Mental Health Management, Rebecka provides medication management as a supportive tool to help patients improve their quality of life.

When is medication management necessary?

Medication management may be appropriate when mental health symptoms interfere with daily life and functioning. Conditions that often respond well to a combination of therapy and medication include:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• ADHD
• PTSD
• Autism-related symptoms

If you’ve tried therapy alone and still struggle with mood, focus, or emotional regulation, medication may help create more stability and relief. Medication management is also essential if you’re already taking psychiatric medication and need expert guidance to adjust doses, monitor side effects, or explore alternatives.

Why is medication management so important?

Mental health medications can be highly effective, but they’re not one-size-fits-all. What works well for one person might not be right for another. That’s why having a knowledgeable provider like Rebecka to guide the process is essential. 

Proper medication management helps reduce unwanted side effects, prevent complications, and ensure medications are truly helping, not just masking symptoms. It’s also an opportunity to check in regularly, assess progress, and make informed decisions about your care.

How does medication management work?

The process begins with a comprehensive evaluation, where Rebecka takes time to understand your medical history, mental health symptoms, past treatments, and current concerns. From there, she may recommend a medication that aligns with your needs and goals.

Once medication is prescribed, she schedules follow-up appointments to monitor how you’re feeling, track side effects, and adjust the dosage or medication type if necessary. Rebecka takes a patient-centered approach, meaning she always respects your comfort, preferences, and input.

Medication management isn’t just about prescriptions; it’s about building a partnership focused on helping you feel your best with safe, responsive care tailored to you.
