What is medication management in psychiatry?
A direct answer, plus the context behind it.
Short answer
Medication management is the ongoing process of evaluating, prescribing, and monitoring psychiatric medication, starting with a comprehensive evaluation and continuing through follow-up visits that adjust the plan as needed.
It is not a one-time prescription. Doses and medications are reviewed and adjusted over time based on how you respond.
The goal is typically the smallest effective plan, not the most medication possible.
