ISU Integrated Mental Health Clinic provides psychiatric medication management to Idaho State University faculty, staff, students, and the surrounding community.  Psychiatric assessments and medication management consults are provided by licensed psychologists and pharmacists with the help of students who are enrolled in the Masters in Clinical Psychopharmacology Program at ISU under the supervision of licensed health care professionals.

Idaho State University recognizes that our mission is to care, support, and educate individuals and families affected by health conditions that diminish their quality of life. We acknowledge that individuals may experience discrimination in the healthcare system, which can adversely affect their health outcomes.  We recognize that both conscious and unconscious discrimination occur. Overt and conscious discrimination is not tolerated. Unconscious or unintentional discrimination need to be identified, challenged, and addressed. We believe everyone has the right to be healthy and have access to the resources they need.

We strive to achieve the following commitments to our colleagues and our patients:

  •  Goal 1: We do not discriminate on the basis of age, race, ethnicity, religion, culture, language, physical or mental disability, socioeconomic status, sex, sexual orientation and gender identity or expression.
  • Goal 2: All patients receive the highest level of care possible delivered in a patient and family friendly approach using evidence-based medicine.
  • Goal 3: We recognize racism, not race, as the cause for healthcare disparities and therefore will examine our healthcare treatment plans for bias.
  • Goal 4: We will track information on factors that create disparities as they relate to health outcomes to better identify how we may actively seek to eliminate such disparities in healthcare.
  • Goal 5: We intend to improve the diversity of our workforce to reflect the community we serve.
  • Goal 6: We commit to listen, learn, and seek to understand in order to create impactful and sustainable positive change.
  • Goal 7: We will recognize and reward practices that promote health equity.

Definition of health equity: The state in which everyone has a fair and just opportunity to attain their highest level of health. https://www.cdc.gov/healthequity/

While the terms equity and equality may sound similar, the implementation of one versus the other can lead to dramatically different outcomes for marginalized people: Equality means each individual or group of people is given the same resources or opportunities. Equity recognizes that each person has different circumstances and allocates the exact resources and opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome within the scope of care provided at ISU Clinics.

Medication management therapy is a treatment system used by mental health professionals to ensure that patients are receiving ideal results from the prescription medications that they are taking. When used in combination with talk therapy, medication evaluation and management is often the most effective treatment for many mental health conditions. Under close observation from a trained medical professional, clients can be assessed, prescribed proper medication, and monitored while they use it.

What to expect
A trained medical professional will give you an initial checkup similar to what a primary care provider might do. This checkup is called an assessment, and provides an overview of your symptoms and review of current medications. If medication is prescribed, the professional will educate you about medication uses, possible side effects, and a plan of action.
 
What are the benefits of Medication Management and Evaluation? 

Medications are often an important part of the treatment of many mental illnesses including; depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, various anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, sleep problems, attention deficit disorders, and more.

Medications can help alleviate mental health symptoms and help you live a more fulfilling life. However, medication is not a cure-all. Research studies indicate that medication is often best used in conjunction with talk therapy to treat mental health symptoms.
