Medication is an important factor in the treatment and healing process of people who are diagnosed with mental illness or psychiatric disorders. Proper management and administration of prescribed medication are essential to prevent relapses and minimize dependency on illegal substances. Thus, proper and well-planned medication management can help prevent the adverse effects of drugs on your body by ensuring that you take your prescribed medications with the right dosage at the prescribed time.

Various medications are usually prescribed to mental health patients. This includes antidepressants, stimulants, or mood stabilizers. With proper intake, these can address anxiety triggers and speed up your recovery. However, it comes with side effects if not properly managed. Here are some useful tips to remember:
