Medication Management
Medication Management at Minnesota Ketamine & Wellness Institute
Understanding Medication Management
The appropriate use of medications is vital in addressing various mental health issues. The right medication can alleviate symptoms and significantly enhance a patient’s quality of life. At Minnesota Ketamine & Wellness Institute, our dedicated team helps patients navigate the process of medication management, which ensures the safety and effectiveness of psychiatric medications.
Medication management involves collaborating with a mental health professional to adjust dosages, change medications, or introduce new ones. As mental health conditions can change over time, it is essential to schedule regular appointments for medication management. Previously effective medications may lose their potency, or new side effects might emerge.
Taking medication can be daunting, particularly for those who have never taken them before or experienced adverse side effects. Gaining a thorough understanding of medication management and the support a mental health provider offers is crucial to feeling comfortable with the recommended treatment plan.
Who Can Benefit from Medication Management?
Stress and trauma can lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, hopelessness, and being overwhelmed. These symptoms can occur randomly, infrequently, or persistently. If they negatively impact your life, it’s a sign that you need help.
Our mental well-being is closely connected to our overall physical health. Untreated mental health issues can result in psychological and physical illnesses over time. Regular mental health checkups, as well as routine physical examinations, are essential for maintaining overall health.
Many psychiatric disorders necessitate a multi-faceted treatment approach, including medication, therapy or counseling, life management skills, and lifestyle changes. It’s important to note that not all patients or psychiatric issues require medication. Our mental health providers at Minnesota Ketamine & Wellness Institute will carefully consider all these components to determine the most effective treatment plan for your mental health needs.

ADHD Testing at Minnesota Ketamine & Wellness Institute
Understanding ADHD
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that can affect attention, impulse control, and activity levels. An accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management and treatment.
Our Testing Solution
At the Minnesota Ketamine & Wellness Institute, we utilize QbTesting from Qbtech for a comprehensive ADHD assessment. This state-of-the-art, computerized test measures attention, impulsivity, and motor activity, providing objective data to aid diagnosis.
The QbTest is a non-invasive assessment that takes 15 minutes for children and 20 minutes for adults. Patients will be asked to respond to visual stimuli on a computer, and their responses will be measured to evaluate different aspects of attention and impulse control.
Individuals who experience challenges with attention deficits, impulsivity, or hyperactivity may find value in undergoing this assessment. If you’re struggling with similar symptoms or have been recommended for an evaluation, our Qbtech solution is another tool available.
To schedule an assessment, simply reach out to us, and our team will lead you through the steps to ensure you receive the necessary support.
