What is Medication Management?
Prescription medications can treat many mood disorders. Individuals prescribed medications must work carefully with a mental healthcare professional to ensure that their medications are working safely and correctly.
Not all psychiatric medications are effective for every individual. It’s essential to find the proper medication and dosage for you.
Medication management is the ongoing evaluation and monitoring of a medication’s side effects, results, and interactions with other medications.
Our team evaluates each patient’s unique situations to determine the best medication management treatment plan for each individual’s mood disorder.
Knoxville Neurocare Therapy is now accepting in-network patients for Medication Management.

How does Medication Management Work?
Effective medication management starts with carefully listening to you and understanding your symptoms and any effects or side effects you have experienced with psychiatric medications.
Our team will work with you to determine the best medication for your mood disorder, monitor side effects, and ensure your medication works effectively.
If your medication isn’t providing the relief you need, or if you are experiencing unwanted side effects, contact us to explore if a different treatment path, such as TMS Therapy, might be a good alternative for you.
