Medication management is a crucial aspect of psychiatric care, as it involves ensuring that patients are taking the right medications at the appropriate doses, monitoring their response to treatment, and addressing any potential side effects or complications that may arise.

Sessions focus on helping patients explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to better understand and manage their mental health conditions.
