What is medication management?

Medication management involves healthcare providers ensuring that patients take their prescribed medications safely, consistently, and effectively. 

In mental health care, it involves monitoring psychiatric medications such as antidepressants, mood stabilizers, or anti-anxiety drugs. The service goes beyond prescribing medicine — it includes reviewing how you respond to treatment, educating you about your medication, adjusting dosages, and managing side effects. 

At Mindway Behavioral, Adedeji uses medication management to create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Why is medication management so important?

Psychiatric medications can have powerful effects on mood, energy, focus, and overall mental functioning. Without professional guidance, improper use of medication can lead to:

• Worsening symptoms
• Unpleasant or dangerous side effects
• Missed doses or medication misuse
• Interactions with other prescriptions or over-the-counter drugs

Medication management helps prevent these issues by ensuring your medications are working as intended, and it allows Adedeji to catch and correct problems early. The service also allows you to ask questions, express concerns, and feel supported throughout your treatment journey.

How does medication management work?

Medication management begins with a thorough evaluation. During your first telehealth appointment, Adedeji gathers information about your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and previous experiences with medication. Based on the assessment, he develops a personalized medication plan. 

You’ll schedule follow-up visits regularly so he can monitor your progress, track any side effects, and make changes if necessary. 

Medication management includes:

• Ongoing communication between you and your provider
• Education on how and when to take medications
• Adjustments to the type or dose of medication
• Collaboration with other healthcare professionals if needed

If you have questions about medication management, Adedeji can provide answers.

What are the benefits of medication management?

With consistent medication management, you can experience:

• Improved symptom control
• Fewer side effects
• Better adherence to your treatment plan
• Reduced risk of relapse or hospitalization
• Higher overall quality of life

Ultimately, medication management empowers you to take an active role in your mental health and ensure you’re receiving the safest, most effective care possible.
