Not all mental health challenges call for psychopharmaceuticals. Psychotherapy and support for healthier lifestyle choices can provide significant relief.
For many people and specific challenges, a combination of medication and psychotherapy will be effective and can deliver better results than medication alone or psychotherapy alone.
In consultation with you, your psychiatric professional can choose specific psychiatric medications that can address your diagnosis. Medication can help you regulate your moods, mitigate symptoms, and improve functioning.
Key Points
- Consider Medications as part of a comprehensive plan that may include psychotherapy and healthy lifestyle choices
- Different medications address different mental health challenges
