Treatment may also include psychotherapy (also called \u201ctalk therapy\u201d) and brain stimulation therapies (less common). In some cases, psychotherapy alone may be the best treatment option. Choosing the right treatment plan should be based on a person\u2019s individual needs and medical situation, and under a mental health professional\u2019s care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nevada Family Psychiatry and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) does not endorse or recommend any particular drug, herb, or supplement. Results from NIMH-supported clinical research trials (What are Clinical Research Trials?) that examine the effectiveness of treatments, including medications, are reported in the medical literature. This health topic webpage is intended to provide basic information about mental health medications. It is not a complete source for all medications available and should not be used as a guide for making medical decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Information about medications changes frequently. Check the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website for the latest warnings, patient medication guides, or newly approved medications. Brand names are not referenced on this page, but you can search by brand name on MedlinePlus Drugs, Herbs and Supplements Drugs website. The MedlinePlus website also provides additional information about each medication, including side effects and FDA warnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"><a href=\"\/antidepressants\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"812\">Antidepressants<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><a href=\"\/anti-anxiety-medications\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"818\">Anti-Anxiety Medications<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><a href=\"\/stimulants\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"823\">Stimulants<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><a href=\"\/antipsychotics\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"830\">Antipsychotics<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><a href=\"\/mood-stabilizers\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"834\">Mood Stabilizers<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><a href=\"\/special-groups-children-older-adults-pregnant-women\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"837\">Special Groups: Children, Older Adults, Pregnant Women<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Medication Information Medications can play a role in treating several mental disorders and conditions.
