Medication Management
Support for Your Mental Health
Finding the right medication is an important step toward feeling better, and it deserves care, time, and attention. At Focus and Balance, our board certified psychiatrists provide personalized medication management for children, teens, and adults throughout San Antonio and nearby communities.
Medication management is more than writing a prescription. It is a collaborative process built on trust and understanding. We take the time to listen, learn about your goals, and adjust your plan as needed so you can move toward lasting balance and stability.
What Medication Management Means
Medication management helps ensure that treatment truly fits your individual needs. During your appointments, your psychiatrist will review your medical history, current symptoms, and any past experiences with medication before recommending next steps. From there, we work together to find what helps you feel your best, safely and effectively.
Because everyone responds to medication differently, follow up visits are an important part of care. These check ins allow us to talk about how you are feeling, discuss any side effects, and fine tune your plan to make sure it continues to work for you.
Comprehensive Evaluation
Your first visit includes a detailed evaluation so we can understand your history, symptoms, and goals. This conversation helps us build a treatment plan that feels personalized and practical from the very start.
Creating Your Plan
If medication is part of your care, your psychiatrist will review your options, explain how each one works, and guide you toward the best fit for your needs and comfort level.
Continuing Care and Follow Up
Medication management is an ongoing process. Regular follow up visits, in person or through TeleHealth, allow us to monitor your progress and make thoughtful adjustments as needed.
