Am I a candidate for medication management?

To determine if you’re a candidate for medication management, the Monumental Health Partners team completes a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. They ask questions about your emotions, moods, thoughts, behaviors, and lifestyle using DSM-5-TR criteria.

Monumental Health Partners then establishes if you have a mental health condition that would benefit from taking medication. Genetic testing is available upon request to help find the best medication options for you.

What should I expect during medication management?

After receiving a medication prescription from your mental health specialist, simply take the medicine exactly as directed and check in with the Monumental Health Partners team for routine follow-up care. 

You might also undergo cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), or other therapies and make lifestyle modifications. For example, it’s helpful to get enough sleep, eat healthy foods, exercise more, and try meditation or other stress management techniques.
