Students engaged in therapy can talk with their C&PS therapist if they are interested in psychotropic medication as a part of the student's care. Where appropriate, a C&PS therapist can refer a willing student to meet with our psychiatric provider for an evaluation to discuss medication and whether it might be an appropriate and beneficial component to the student's care. Appointments psychiatric care are offered at no cost to enrolled students.
Students appropriate for psychotropic medication would present with signs and symptoms that meet DSM-5 criteria and which impact the student's functioning. Psychiatric services are reserved for students concurrently engaged in therapy at C&PS. Students who are not interested in concurrent, coordinated treatment, or who are not otherwise eligible for psychiatric services at C&PS, will be provided with a list referrals to community providers.
