Would you trust a new specialized psychiatric program to manage your medication for depression or OCD?
Optimum Wellness & TMS has introduced a dedicated psychiatric medication management service for adults living with depression and OCD. The program is designed to support patients who require ongoing pharmacological care but currently lack a prescribing provider.
Why it matters
Expanding local access to medication management helps fill a critical gap for patients who need consistent oversight for their mental health treatments. This new service aims to provide structured monitoring to ensure therapy remains effective and safe for those navigating depression or OCD.
The clinic is implementing standardized rating scales to track clinical progress at intake and subsequent follow-up visits. While this provides a measurable framework for adjustments, the long-term comparative efficacy of this service model versus traditional primary care remains to be seen.
The players
Optimum Wellness & TMS
A Columbus-based mental health clinic providing TMS therapy, Spravato, and medication management services.
Kayla Cartwright, PMHNP-BC
A psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner who leads the new medication management service.
Dr. Mark E. Blair, MD

The details
The program utilizes a structured intake process where patients complete a pre-screening call to determine eligibility before scheduling a comprehensive evaluation. Once in the program, clinicians use standardized rating scales to track symptoms and guide medication adjustments over time. The service is strictly for medication management and does not provide evaluations for ADHD, stimulant management, or emergency psychiatric care.

Health Landscape
This expansion aligns with the broader standard of care for depression and OCD management by prioritizing longitudinal symptom tracking. It follows a growing clinical trend of integrating specialized medication management alongside interventional therapies like TMS and ketamine.
If you are managing depression or OCD and need help with medication, contact the clinic at 614-933-4200 to discuss if this service is appropriate for your needs. Be aware that this clinic does not handle emergency psychiatric crises, and you should discuss any urgent needs with your current physician.
The takeaway
Consistent monitoring through standardized scales is a cornerstone of effective psychiatric treatment for chronic conditions. Patients should always verify if a new clinic’s scope of practice, such as the exclusion of stimulant management at this facility, matches their specific medical requirements.
