Medication Management

For some individuals, a major aspect of the treatment process for mental health disorders at any is medication. While not right for everyone, psychotropic medications be a gamechanger for many who are struggling with mental health illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. While medications don’t provide a cure, they treat symptoms that can be debilitating, helping get people back to functioning. If you are currently taking medication, or think you might need it, consulting with a qualified psychiatrist or a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner if a great first step. Psychiatrist and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner can prescribe medications and make sure that the medications you are taking are working effectively (and in some cases, they also provide therapy).

My goal is to get you the results you desire at the minimum dosage required. Modern medications are true wonders in effectively improving mental health and life outcomes. But they can have downsides–including possible physical or psychological dependence, interactions with other medications you may be taking, or side effects. My job is to find the optimal regimen for you, maximizing benefits and minimizing or eliminating any potential downsides.

In the current society, Medication management has taken a major misconception regarding an individual's mental health. Just like some individuals need insulin or blood pressure medication to help the body to function properly, others need mental health medication to balance dopamine, serotonin, adrenaline, and so on. Our providers understand not every medication works the same for every person so they collaborate with each individual till they find the right balance to live life to the fullest.

I view medication as a tool in your toolbox to assist you in doing the work of therapy and making lifestyle and situational changes. It is rare that a medication will provide full relief of symptoms. I often work with people who are medication averse or anxious about starting medications. It can be a complex process and often times there is a history of bad experiences with providers and medications and managing side effects, I strive to be sensitive to that fact.

— Lee Anne Horn, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner in Asheville, NC

I have worked for the past 15 years in roles that focused on medication management in reference to psychotropic medications.
