How do you know what diet, supplements, or even medications are right for you?
With so many health issues happening within our society, things can often get confusing.
When you’re feeling overwhelmed or confused, it’s understandable that you might want to let others make medication decisions for you. But being actively involved in your treatment can make a real difference in your recovery. Talking honestly with your provider(s) is a big part of that process. If you discuss your concerns and learn about your options, you are much more likely to come up with a plan that works well for you and for the life you want to create.
Our Medication Management Team provides you with the most updated, science-backed information so you can find answers to common health questions that have become puzzling and have held you back from achieving optimal health.
Medication Management is a spectrum of patient-centered, provider collaborative services focusing on medication appropriateness, effectiveness and safety, with the goal of improving health outcomes. Drugs cannot cure mental illnesses. Rather, they work to control many of the most troubling symptoms, often enabling people with mental disorders to return to normal or near-normal functioning. Reducing symptoms with medication can also enhance the effectiveness of other treatments, such as psychotherapy (a type of counseling).
If you and your mental health provider(s) decide that medication may be the right option for you, very often you’ll be referred to a separate provider. Most psychologists and therapists aren’t licensed to prescribe medications, and many psychiatrists don’t practice therapy. Morgan Health Centers offers both primary and mental services. Our providers work to ensure the most effective combination of therapy and medication for your mental health and wellness.
Medication Management involves outpatient evaluation and management of psychotropic medications used to treat adult mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, Bipolar disorder, ADHD and others. There are several different types of drugs available to treat mental illnesses. Some of the most commonly used are antidepressants, anti-anxiety, antipsychotic, mood stabilizing, and stimulant medications. A healthcare provider will determine which medication is right for you. Remember that medications usually take 4 to 6 weeks to become fully effective, and if one drug does not work, there are many others to try.

Researchers believe that the symptoms of mental illness come from chemical imbalances in a person’s brain. A medication works on these imbalances to reduce your symptoms, or sometimes, to relieve them completely.
It is important to know the benefits of prescribed medications, as well as their potential side effects, and to talk to your doctor about any concerns that you may have. As you consider your options, it may help to know some basic facts about medication.
GeneSight® Psychotropic is a pharmacogenomic test which means that it analyzes how genes may affect medication outcomes. A GeneSight® test analyzes clinically important genetic variations in DNA. Results can inform clinicians about how certain medications commonly prescribed to treat depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other psychiatric conditions may be broke down or responded to.
A GeneSight® test must be ordered by medical provider. The test is a simple cheek swab taken in the health care provider’s office.
If you think genetic testing could be helpful, Request an Appointment to discuss a GeneSight® Psychotropic test.
