Medication and Mental Health

​

Psychiatric medications play an important role in the treatment of mental health disorders. Research shows that the combination of mental health counseling and psychiatry work effectively in addressing most mental health disorders.

 

Medication can reduce symptoms and prevent relapses of emotional distress. Medications can also help patients minimize cravings and maintain abstinence from addictive substances.

​

In order to get the most out of medication, patients must make an informed choice about taking medications, and understand the potential benefits and costs associated with medication use. In addition, they must take the medication as prescribed by a mental health professional.

​

We are excited to welcome Yessenia Kuan as an experienced and qualified professional in the field of psychiatry.
