Medication management in children, adolescents, and young adults can be a priceless tool when addressing mental health disorders. It aims to improve symptoms, enhance functioning, and support the overall well-being of young individuals, enabling them to thrive in their daily lives.
Medication management involves the careful oversight and coordination of psychiatric medications. Given the unique developmental, psychological, and physiological needs of younger populations, medication management in these age groups requires special consideration.
Assessment: The process begins with a comprehensive assessment that includes evaluating mental health history, symptoms, family dynamics, and developmental stage. This assessment will also involve input from parents, teachers, or other caregivers to gain a holistic understanding of the individual’s functioning.
Medication Selection: When selecting medications, we consider the specific mental health condition, age, weight, and overall health of the young person. They will also factor in the potential for side effects, as children and adolescents can respond differently to medications than adults.
Dosage and Administration: Determining the correct dosage is critical, as children and adolescents may require different dosages than adults due to their developing bodies. Education about how to take medications correctly, including any special instructions, is essential for both the young person and their caregivers.
Monitoring: Regular monitoring is vital to evaluate the effectiveness of the medication and to identify any side effects. This may include scheduled follow-up appointments to assess symptoms, conduct mental health screenings, and check in on the patient’s overall well-being.
Adjustment: As children and adolescents grow, their medication needs may change. We are prepared to adjust dosages or change medications based on developmental progress, response to treatment, and any emerging issues.
Education and Support: Providing education to both the patient and their caregivers is crucial. This includes discussing the purpose of the medication, potential side effects, and the importance of adherence to the prescribed regimen. When appropriate, parents and caregivers are always involved in the medication management process
Collaboration: Collaboration among mental health professionals, pediatricians, parents, and schools is essential for comprehensive care. This team approach helps ensure that all aspects of the young person's mental health are addressed and that the treatment plan aligns with their educational and social needs.
Consideration of Non-Pharmacological Interventions: Medication management for young individuals should always complements non-pharmacological approaches, such as therapy (e.g., cognitive-behavioral therapy, play therapy) and lifestyle modifications (e.g., nutrition, exercise), which can enhance overall treatment effectiveness.
Point Wellness Co. offers specialized ADOS-2 diagnostic testing conducted by our licensed Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) Jackie Anderson, for children and adolescents suspected of having Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-Second Edition (ADOS-2) is an activity-based assessment considered the “ Gold Standard” in the assessment of Autism Spectrum Disorder. Because insurance carriers require an autism diagnosis before they authorize treatment or pay claims, early evaluation and formal testing is crucial.
We are proud to offer a collaborative approach to our Autism evaluations. Every evaluation includes the ADOS-2 assessment in conjunction with a comprehensive speech and language evaluation to provide the most accurate diagnosis. After this testing, families are scheduled for an appointment with our Medical Director. A detailed report with tailored recommendations for therapy and support is provided. Point Wellness Co. can then provide any family or individual counseling, play therapy, nutritional support or medication management needed. Our family-centered approach ensures that caregivers are involved throughout the process. We provide guidance and resources to help navigate every step.

Nutrition
Nutritional assessment and planning involves evaluating the dietary needs, nutritional status, and health of children and adolescents. This process includes gathering information about an individual's eating habits, lifestyle, growth patterns, and medical history. Based on this assessment, personalized nutrition plans are developed to promote healthy growth and development, address specific dietary concerns, and encourage lifelong healthy eating habits. The goal is to support overall well-being and prevent nutrition-related issues in youth, taking into account their unique physiological and psychological needs.
