Medication Consultation
AllCare's adult and child psychiatrists are committed to providing you with the best and safest medicines available. They are careful to evaluate you or your child and offer information on the benefits and drawbacks of taking medication. The decision to take psychotropic medication is an important one and should be discussed with all of the treatment staff including your therapist, psychiatrist, and your family.
If you are currently being medicated by your primary care physician (who may be a family medicine doctor, pediatrician, general practitioner, or internist) for a mental disorder, you may want to consider having a psychiatrist, who has specialized training, to monitor your status. Talk to your therapist about this; often, a psychiatrist can follow patients more thoroughly than primary care physicians.
Some individuals may have difficulty in staying with a particular medication. Sometimes we forget to take our pills; sometimes we forget to have our children take their medications as well. AllCare can help you maintain adherence to your medication regimen and thereby increase your chances that the medication will have a beneficial effect. Your therapist can assist you in generating strategies for you to maintain your adherence, especially during times of stress.
