Medication Management Approaches in Psychiatry
3455 Views
Description:
Research has shown that many consumers are either under or over medicated and not at an optimal level of medication that would help them in the recovery process. MedMAP can really help. Because your family member or friend and his/her practitioner will be monitoring the medication’s effectiveness as well as its symptoms and side effects, medications that are not working well will not be continued. If your family member or friend has only partially responded to the medicine, he/she and the practitioner will look at the next steps and together they will decide what might be more effective. If your friend or family member agrees, you could share in the decisions that are made about medication management. (nebhands)
