Medication Management for Co-occurring Conditions in Autism
How Medication Can Help:
Improve focus, attention, and organization (ADHD)
Reduce excessive worry, sadness, or irritability (anxiety & depression)
Support emotional regulation and lower anger outbursts
Help manage impulsive behaviors and improve daily functioning
Medication Management Options for ASD Clients:
ADHD Medications:
Stimulants are commonly used to improve focus and reduce hyperactivity.
Non-stimulant options are available for those who may not tolerate stimulants.
Anxiety & Depression Medications:
SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) are often used as a first-line treatment for mood and anxiety symptoms.
SNRIs (Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors) can be effective, especially when symptoms include low energy or chronic tension.
Mood Stabilizers & Other Medications:
In some cases, mood stabilizers or medications targeting irritability and aggression may be recommended to help with anger and impulse control.
At Skye Mental Health, we understand that medication needs are highly individualized, especially for those with autism. Our board-certified providers carefully assess each patient’s unique challenges, monitor progress, and adjust treatment plans as needed. We’re here to support you or your loved one every step of the way on the journey to better mental health.
