The mind is a garden. And sometimes it is difficult trying to cope with sadness, anxiety, anger and all the other negative emotions that plague the human soul. Many people with mental health conditions are supported with various treatment options, including medication. Arbor Wellness provides medication management, just like an experienced gardener would know what medicines soothe the unwanted feelings while fostering growth and well-being.
Mental health matters, as does medication management. We know just how important proper medication management is for a person’s mental health here at Arbor Wellness. Many mood disorders like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders are well treatable with right medication. Getting the right medication and dose takes teamwork between the patient and doctor.
With Arbor Wellness, our PMHNPs work directly with patients to establish a medication management plan that is truly designed specifically with them in mind, considering factors such as symptoms and medical history. This approach goes beyond standardized protocols, ensuring that treatment is both effective and well-tolerated.
Consistent care is one of the greatest advantages to medication management at Arbor Wellness. Patients attend follow-up appointments so health providers can continue to monitor their progress and make any necessary medication tweaks. This ongoing observation reflects a commitment to the patient-centered, evidence-based approach of achieving the best therapeutic effects while minimizing side effects.
To treat an individual’s entire mental health, Arbor Wellness also offers a variety of other mental health treatments including – psychotherapy and comprehensive psychiatric assessment. In this way, using combined treatment we increase psychic and somatic well-being of our patients.
One thing to keep in mind is that medication doesn’t always tell the whole story. The garden requires more than fertilizer, and mental health requires more than medicine. Counseling teaches people how to recognize their emotions and practice gaining control of them. A healthy diet, plenty of sleep, and regular exercise can also help. When paired with medication, they can help individuals in recovery and maintain mental health in the long-term.
At Arbor Wellness, we are committed to providing our patients with the individual attention and care needed to reach their goals. If you or someone you love is suffering from a mental health disorder, reach out to us and learn more about our treatment options and how we can help you.
