Psychiatric medications are not indicated for every patient. I am judicious in my practice of prescribing psychiatric medications, which also includes de-prescribing medications that may not be helpful or necessary. All new patients undergo thoughtful medication reconciliation to ensure comprehensive understanding of their experiences with medications and to guide ongoing treatment. I believe for the right patients, medications can be incredibly helpful, while also abiding by the mantra of “the least amount of medication, to provide the maximum benefit,” which may be no medication at all.
