Who qualifies for mental health medication

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case individually. They look for specific criteria to ensure the medication is safe and appropriate for your condition. This includes reviewing your medical history, current symptoms, and any other medications you may be taking. The doctor's primary concern is your well-being, and they will only issue a prescription if they find the treatment suitable for your specific mental health needs.

What mental health medication actually does (and doesn't do)

Mental health medications, such as antidepressants or anxiolytics, work by targeting specific neurotransmitters in the brain to help regulate mood, reduce anxiety, or improve focus. They are not a 'cure-all' but can significantly alleviate symptoms, allowing you to engage more effectively in therapy and daily life. It's important to understand that these medications often take several weeks to show their full effect, and consistent use as prescribed is key. They are a tool to help manage conditions, not to fundamentally alter your personality or solve underlying life problems instantly.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, mental health drugs can have side effects. These vary depending on the specific medication but can include nausea, dizziness, insomnia, or changes in appetite. Your doctor will discuss potential side effects with you and monitor your progress. It's crucial to report any concerning or persistent side effects to your doctor. Never stop taking your medication abruptly without consulting a medical professional, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms or a relapse of your condition. Your doctor will guide you on how to safely adjust or discontinue treatment if needed.
