⟩ As you know like a psychiatrist, you will be diagnosing mental illnesses and prescribing drugs. How do you plan on following up with your patients to ensure they are taking their medication?
Follow-up with the patient is necessary when dealing with psychiatric medication. Depending on how autonomous the patients are, I will either follow-up with them directly a few days after their release and continue to follow up on a weekly basis, or I will get in touch with a family member who has insight into the patient’s daily routine.
