Pharmacology / Medication

At MindWork Group, we understand that mental health is complex, and that everyone's treatment journey is unique. For some individuals, medicines are a vital component of their treatment plan. Optimization of medication to allow for the best level of functioning and recovery takes time, patience and expertise.  More isn’t always better.  We take people off of more medications than we prescribe as we often find that people have been overmedicated or medicines have been prescribed by treaters who have had little time to really get to know people and observe them for any length of time. 

Research has demonstrated that psychopharmacology is most effective when used in conjunction with therapy.  Medications used in psychopharmacology can be prescribed to help manage symptoms of conditions such as:

• Depression

• Anxiety

• Trauma

• PTSD

• Bipolar disorder

• Schizophrenia

• ADHD

• Insomnia

While medication alone is not a cure for mental health conditions, it can be an effective tool to help manage symptoms and improve overall functioning. Optimization of medications can help other therapies be more effective.  Often people are given too much medicine or the wrong type of medication which actually leads to more symptoms or makes their psychiatric condition more difficult to control. 

At MindWork Group, we have a team of nationally recognized psychiatrists who specialize in psychopharmacology. They will work with you to understand your specific needs and develop a treatment plan that is tailored to you.
