Question 1

What is medication management?

Accepted Answer

If you are new to medication management, it helps to know what you are signing up for. It is ongoing care with a clinician who is licensed to prescribe, including the follow-up appointments that come after a first visit rather than a one-time prescription. What that schedule looks like is up to you and the clinician. On Alma, browse clinicians in Brookline who offer medication management.

Do I need a therapist if I see a prescriber?
