Psychopharmacology in Primary Care

Psychopharmacology in primary care involves the use of medications to manage mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Primary care providers, such as family doctors, can prescribe these medications, making it easier for patients to receive treatment within their regular check-ups. This approach emphasizes the integration of mental health care into overall health management, allowing for holistic treatment. It is essential for patients to communicate openly with their providers about symptoms and medication effects, ensuring safe and effective care in a familiar setting.
