University Health Service clinicians provide medical management of common mental health issues.

UHS clinicians provide the following:

Evaluation of anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and sleep disorders
Treatment options, including medications
Medical management for confirmed diagnoses of attention deficit disorder (ADD) and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
Prescription renewals with standard medication regimens for conditions such as stable depression or anxiety for patients who no longer need counseling
Referral to a UHS psychiatrist for consultation (access available only for students with a UHS referral) or to counseling and psychological services (or other appropriate resource) for counseling

It is recommended that students and other patients make an appointment with a UHS clinician and continue to see him/her. Although patients may change clinicians at any time, seeing the same clinician allows patients to develop a relationship and helps ensure quality care.
