Medication Management
Medications play a crucial role in managing mental health conditions. While they are not a cure-all, they can significantly help individuals function better at home, work or school, and in our relationships. At Truyu Health & Wellbeing, we understand that psychopharmacology is not just a science but also an art.
Everybody’s body is distinct. How your body responds to a particular medication may be entirely different than another person’s experience. That’s why our nurse practitioners are dedicated to carefully prescribing and regularly monitoring medications. We take into account each individual's unique needs and responses to ensure that the treatment plan is tailored to their specific situation.
We also prioritize patient education. Our goal is to ensure that our patients have well-researched and accurate information so they are better equipped to make decisions about their health. We provide clear and comprehensive information about medications, possible side effects, and other treatment options to support our patients in making well-informed choices that align with their overall health goals.
What to expect
It all starts with a thorough diagnostic evaluation conducted during your initial 60 - 90 minute meeting with one of our nurse practitioners.
During this comprehensive session, our nurse practitioners take the time to gather information about your medical background, social history, and carefully review any pertinent records from previous healthcare providers. You can expect thoughtful counseling about your diagnosis, personalized treatment recommendations, and an opportunity to have all your questions addressed.
Depending on your individual needs, our team may suggest further diagnostic assessments, order labs, or provide referrals for specialized care to ensure you receive the most holistic treatment possible.
After your first appointment, follow-up sessions are scheduled to closely monitor your progress. The frequency of these follow-ups is tailored to your specific treatment plan. If symptoms are acute or changes are made to your therapy, you will be seen every 2 - 4 weeks. Otherwise, appointments are typically scheduled every 3-4 months for stable conditions. If controlled substances are prescribed, follow-ups are set at a minimum of every 3 months to ensure safe and effective management of your medication.
We believe in collaborative care and each follow-up session is an opportunity for us to adjust medications, address any concerns, and support you on your path to wellness. Your well-being is at the heart of everything we do at Truyu Health & Wellbeing.
