Mental Health Medication Resources
“Are medications or supplements right for me?” Medications and/or supplements can be tools in the toolbox to help manage and overcome a mental health disorder. Through conservative prescribing, medications and/or supplements can be used as a tool to open the window to do the work to feel and get well such as getting better sleep, having less severity of symptoms, improving energy, and reduce suffering from many mental health disorders. However, not everyone may need a medication for treatment. At Lupine Mental Health, we will take a thorough look at whether or not medications or supplements are appropriate and safe for you. Review the links below to help educate yourself about medication and supplement safety as well as their drawbacks including side effects.
