Psychiatric Medication Management

​

 

Psychiatric medication management providers specialize in the treatment of mental health conditions through psychiatric medication management.  Psychiatric providers focus on the medical aspects of treating mental health conditions, through assessment, prescribing psychiatric medications, ordering and interpreting lab work, and coordinating care with other professionals who may also be treating a patient for other health conditions.
