We offer carefully monitored, expert-led prescription and follow-up care so you can get the full benefit of medication while keeping side effects and risks under control.
Medication plays a key role in many mental health treatments, but it’s not “set it and forget it.” At Shining Star Psychiatric Care, we recognise that prescribing the right medication is only the start—monitoring how you respond, adjusting as needed, and integrating the medicine into your broader treatment plan are what make the difference.
Medication management in mental-health care is a structured process of prescribing, monitoring and adjusting medications to ensure they are safe, effective, and tailored to your unique needs.
Key components include:
– A comprehensive evaluation of your symptoms, health history, medications and diagnosis before medication is started.
– Selection of the most appropriate medication(s) for your condition, with attention to effectiveness, interactions, side effects and lifestyle.
– Regular follow-up appointments to monitor your response, side effects, adherence and to make dosage or medication changes as needed.
– Coordination with therapy, lifestyle interventions, and other treatments—medication is usually part of a comprehensive strategy, not the sole focus.
– Optimises outcomes: The right medication, at the right dose, under continuous monitoring tends to lead to better symptom control and fewer setbacks.
– Helps reduce side effects & risks: Psychiatric medications can have significant side effects and interactions ongoing monitoring reduces those risks.
– Supports other treatments: The right medication support can make therapy, self-care and lifestyle changes much more effective.
– Prevents relapse: Consistent follow-up and adjustments help prevent relapse or worsening of symptoms when medication alone isn’t enough.
