2. About us
Audrey La Noce is a board-certified wellness coach and
proud owner of Total Mental Wellness. Total Mental
Wellness's team specializes in a "whole person
approach", which not only involves a psychiatric
evaluation but also includes a wellness evaluation. We
are well versed in the latest treatments for mental
health conditions, including some non-traditional
treatments. We provide different treatments like
treatment of depression, anxiety, and bipolar, women's
issues (anti-aging, social issues), and LGBTQ. We
provide individualized and comprehensive care for
individuals of all ages. We offer a specialized service to
increase an individual’s quality of life by incorporating
meaningful activities.
3. How it works
Medication management looks over how
medications interact with one another. During
our visits it vital that patient is understanding
of potential benefits of medications as well
as side effects to look out for. Genetic testing
is also available at request to help with
finding the right treatment with precision
care.
4. This is accomplished by working with patients
and their healthcare team; including their
primary care provider, and pharmacists, to
create an overall picture of the patient’s
condition, the medications they take, and the
potential side effects and interactions of
these drugs.

5. Patients are educated about their medical and
psychiatric conditions and the medications used
to treat them. This ensures that medications
are taken correctly and informs patients on
how to manage any potential side effects.
Medication treatment
6. Medication management therapy helps
prevent behaviors that may be putting
patients at risk for adverse drug usage, such
as overdosing, underdosing, or missing
medications.

7. Polypharmacy is the use of multiple
medications for different conditions. It has a
number of potential health hazards,
including dangerous drug interactions and
over-medication, especially for seniors.
Medication management becomes highly
important in this case.

8. Not everyone seeking psychiatric help will need
medication; therefore, an initial assessment is
conducted to determine whether medication is a
good option for patients to treat their psychiatric
condition. At La Noce Psychiatry, I work with my
patients to create the right, individually-tailored
treatment plan.

10. According to the American Psychiatric
Association, “Anxiety is a normal
reaction to stress and can be
beneficial in some situations. It can
alert us to dangers and help us
prepare and pay attention. Anxiety
disorders differ from normal feelings
of nervousness or anxiousness, and
involve excessive fear or anxiety.

11. Depression
According to the American Psychiatric
Association, “Depression (major
depressive disorder) is a common and
serious medical illness that negatively
affects the way you feel, the way you
think and how you act. Fortunately, it
is also treatable. Depression causes
feelings of sadness and/or a loss of
interest in activities once enjoyed.
12. Bipolar Disorder
According to the American Psychiatric
Association, “Bipolar disorders are brain
disorders that cause changes in a
person’s mood, energy and ability to
function. Bipolar disorder is a category
that includes three different conditions
— bipolar I, bipolar II and cyclothymic
disorder. People with bipolar disorders
have extreme and intense emotional
states that occur at distinct times,
called mood episodes.
