What should I expect at my follow up appointments?

Your follow up appointments with your psychiatric PA typically last between 15-30 minutes. Here’s what to expect

• Monitoring Medication Effectiveness: These appointments allow the clinician to assess how well the prescribed medication is working in managing symptoms. This involves discussing any changes in symptoms, both improvements and any persisting issues.

• Adjusting Medications: Based on the patient’s response, the PA may adjust the dosage or change medications to optimize treatment effectiveness and minimize side effects.

• Managing Side Effects: Patients are monitored for any side effects they may experience. The clinician can provide strategies to manage these side effects or adjust the medication regimen if necessary.

• Assesing progress of psychological interventions: As part of your treatment plan, your clinician may prescribe specific psychological interventions tailored to your needs. These interventions are implemented by a therapist and are a vital component of your overall care strategy. During your medical follow up appointment your PA will assess the progress of these psychological interventions implemented by your therapist.  This assessment helps ensure that the psychological strategies are effectively contributing to your treatment goals and allows us to make any necessary adjustments to your care plan.

• Addressing Patient Concerns: Patients have the opportunity to discuss any concerns or questions they may have regarding their medication, including interactions with other medications or substances.

• Evaluating Overall Treatment Progress: These appointments also involve evaluating the patient’s overall progress, including how medication is contributing to the goals of their broader treatment plan, which may include psychotherapy and lifestyle changes.

• Ensuring Compliance: The appointments provide an opportunity to discuss adherence to the medication regimen and address any barriers to taking medications as prescribed.

• Coordinating Care: Medication management appointments can also involve coordinating with other healthcare providers, such as therapists or primary care physicians, to ensure a comprehensive approach to the patient’s mental health care.

Overall, these appointments are a crucial component of a comprehensive treatment plan for managing psychiatric conditions effectively.

How should I address my medical provider?

Amy Morrison is not a doctor.  She is a psychiatric physician assistant.    As such, the formal title of doctor should not be used to address her.  Amy actually prefers that you call her Amy.  It is her belief that the working relationship between client and medical provider is better forged when you are both on a first name basis.
