If you are a UW-Seattle student interested in exploring psychiatric medication as a part of your mental health treatment, please schedule an appointment with a psychiatrist, psychiatric nurse practitioner, nurse practitioner or medical doctor. Our psychiatric providers can provide you with an evaluation, treatment recommendations and psychiatric medication management if appropriate.
For first-time prescriptions or refills, please schedule with a primary care provider. If you need multiple medications or have a complex medical history, you may need to schedule with a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner.
Psychiatric medications work on the brain and nervous system. They are used to treat mental illnesses, such as anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder. These medications require a prescription and careful monitoring by a licensed health care provider.
To schedule an appointment, call us at 206.685.1011.
Hall Health can offer screenings for mental illness and medical conditions, but we are unable to test for ADHD or other learning disabilities. You may schedule an appointment with us to be screened for other illnesses, and if we suspect ADHD may be the reason for your symptoms, we will refer you to a list of providers maintained by UW’s Disability Resources for Students.
Due to the potential for abuse of ADHD medications, you will need to take the following steps in order to receive a prescription for medication from Hall Health:
