Frequently Asked Questions
Have more questions? Our team is here to help you make an informed decision about your care.
What happens at my first medication management appointment?
Your initial appointment is a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation lasting 60–90 minutes. We review your full medical and psychiatric history, current symptoms, previous medication trials, and your goals before developing a personalised medication plan.
How often will I need follow-up appointments?
Most patients are seen every 4–8 weeks initially, transitioning to quarterly visits once stable. Frequency depends on your specific needs, the medications prescribed, and your treatment response.
Will I be on medication forever?
Not necessarily. The duration depends on your diagnosis, symptom severity, and treatment response. Some conditions benefit from short-term use; others require longer-term management. Your provider will discuss this as part of your treatment plan.
What if my medication isn’t working?
This is a normal part of the process. If your current medication isn’t providing adequate relief or is causing side effects, your provider will explore alternatives — potentially including GeneSight testing to guide more targeted choices.
Can I use GeneSight testing with medication management?
Yes, and we highly recommend it for patients who have had poor responses to psychiatric medications. GeneSight provides genetic insights that help your provider select medications most likely to be effective for your unique profile.
