Common Questions About Medication Management

What conditions do you treat, and what medications do you prescribe? We provide psychiatric evaluation and medication management for a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, and other mood or thought disorders. When clinically appropriate, we prescribe psychotropic medications such as antidepressants, mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, and anti-anxiety medications. All treatment decisions are made following a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and ongoing clinical monitoring.

Is care provided in person or virtually, and where are prescriptions sent? All services are provided via secure telehealth. Prescriptions are sent electronically to pharmacies in states where the provider is licensed. Controlled substances are not prescribed in Florida, and we do not prescribe medications to pharmacies located in states where the provider is not licensed.

Do you prescribe controlled substances? Yes, controlled substances may be prescribed when clinically indicated and only after an initial comprehensive evaluation to determine medical necessity. Prescribing is based on clinical judgment, safety considerations, and compliance with state and federal regulations. Controlled medications are not guaranteed and are prescribed at the provider’s discretion.

What are your requirements for stimulant medications (e.g., ADHD treatment)? Stimulant prescribing requires additional documentation and safeguards. Before a stimulant can be prescribed, patients must meet specific criteria, which may include: A physical exam completed within the past 12 months A urine toxicology screen Documentation of a prior ADHD diagnosis, if applicable (psychological testing or records from a previous provider) Additional requirements may apply based on individual clinical circumstances and regulatory guidelines.

How often will I need follow-up appointments for my medications? Follow-up appointments are scheduled based on your individual needs, the type of medication prescribed, and your response to treatment. When starting a new medication or adjusting a dose, closer monitoring is required to ensure safety and effectiveness. Typically, after stabilization, follow-ups may occur every 4–12 weeks, but your provider will determine the best schedule for monitoring effectiveness, side effects, and any necessary dosage adjustments. Regular follow-ups help ensure safe and effective treatment, especially for psychotropic and controlled medications.
