At Bluegrass Behavioral Health & Consulting Services, our specialists carefully review your symptoms and medical history to understand what type of mental health disorder you may have. They may perform a physical exam, if necessary, and conduct a thorough psychiatric evaluation. Your provider will also talk with you about your lifestyle and what you hope to achieve from treatment, and may request blood tests to get a complete picture.
Our team at Bluegrass Behavioral Health & Consulting Services creates a personalized medication plan based on your unique needs, lifestyle, and treatment goals. They may recommend different types of medication, such as pills, nasal sprays, or ketamine infusions, to help reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, or other mental health conditions.
In addition to medication, your mental health provider may suggest other treatments like counseling, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), or other therapies to help you feel better and live life fully. They will closely monitor your progress to ensure the treatment is working well and adjust the plan as needed.
