Medication Options
To explore medication options in treating your mental health symptoms, call 402.554.2374 to schedule an initial evaluation, which is covered by student fees.
For those who are unsure or do not want to take medication, we recommend scheduling a therapy appointment with Counseling and Psychological Services by calling 402.554.2409.
Best practices show that therapy combined with medication management proves to have the most positive outcomes in treating mental health disorders. Therefore, we recommend therapy with CAPS or a therapist in the community along with our medication management service to provide you with the best treatment possible.
