Psychiatrists in Somerville, MA—Medication Management

Our emotions play a huge part in our mental health. When we feel depressed, angry, or stressed, these feelings might signify the development or presence of a mental health condition. Additionally, learning to address these emotions properly can help us manage mental disorders and heal our minds. 

In a nutshell, psychiatric nurse practitioners can support our mental and emotional health. If you think you could benefit from working with one, reach out to Thriveworks Counseling in Somerville, MA. Psychiatry is just one field in the mental health realm that our providers specialize in. To schedule an appointment or find out more, call our Somerville office. We look forward to it.

Medication for Mental Illness

Medication is an important part of treatment for mental illness. And it can benefit many people, especially those diagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, just to name a few mental health disorders.

If your Thriveworks psychiatric nurse practitioner does prescribe you a medication, you must meet with them in regular sessions (usually monthly). In these meetings or check-ins, you will talk to your psychiatric provider about how the medication is working for you or how it is not working for you. If you’re suffering from negative side effects that outweigh the positive effects, your provider can help you find another medication that is a better fit.

No matter the prescription, your psychiatric provider will explain exactly how you should take your medication, including how often and what time of day. If you ever have any questions, please don’t be afraid to ask. There are no dumb questions, and your provider will be happy to answer them.

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
