Can medication management be telehealth?
Yes if you are in Florida and the case is appropriate. Controlled-substance rules still apply.

Yes. Tapers are scheduled by drug class. Do not stop MAOIs, benzos, or paroxetine abruptly on your own.

When the evaluation supports ADHD and PDMP/safety checks pass. Not from a questionnaire alone.
What about pregnancy?
Tell us before a prescription is sent. Some agents need specialist coordination.
What is GeneSight?
A pharmacogenetic panel that may adjust probabilities for certain antidepressants. It does not diagnose ADHD or depression.

Do you understand immigration-related mental health challenges?
Yes. We see many patients dealing with adjustment stress, anxiety related to immigration experiences, and intergenerational trauma. Our evaluations consider these cultural and social factors alongside clinical symptoms.
