Will I Be Prescribed Medication?
If medication is helpful for your treatment, your psychiatrist will work with you to determine the right kind for your symptoms. Some of the most common medications prescribed include:
- Antidepressants: Antidepressants balance neurotransmitters in the brain to promote a more positive mood and stabilize emotions. They are sometimes prescribed to help with depression and other mood disorders.
- Anti-anxiety medications: Anti-anxiety medications can prevent panic attacks from occurring and can reduce other symptoms of anxiety.
- Mood stabilizers: Mood stabilizers are used to help regulate moods and prevent uncontrollable mood swings. They are sometimes prescribed to help mitigate the effects of bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder.
- Stimulants: Stimulants can promote focus and alertness and are sometimes used to treat ADHD or as part of treatment for depression.
