Medication Management in Bloomington
Bloomington lives by surge cycles: August arrivals, finals weeks, winter darkness, graduation cliffs. Campus services absorb what they can while faculty, staff, graduate students, and the town's permanent residents queue months for routine psychiatric care. Psychiatric medication deserves an owner, not an autopilot. shrinkMD provides board certified medication management to Bloomington by secure video, with follow up that happens on schedule and decisions driven by measured results.

Why shrinkMD
Care built around Bloomington
From Kirkwood to the east side to Ellettsville, visits happen by video year round, any month, with college mental health a core specialty and care that continues through summers in our licensed states.
We bill no insurance and are unaffiliated with the university, with flat published fees, session-unlimited continuity, and one clinician who knows your story.
What's included
Stewardship, visit by visit
Good prescribing is a feedback loop. At each visit your clinician reviews your validated symptom scores, your side effects, and your sleep, then adjusts a single variable so cause and effect stay readable. While starting or changing medication that loop runs every two to four weeks; once you are doing well it relaxes to every one to three months.
Your full trial history, names, doses, durations, responses, lives in your chart from day one, so failed experiments never get repeated. Prescriptions go electronically to your pharmacy, monitoring labs are arranged through your local clinic when a medication requires them, and your primary care doctor stays in the loop with your permission. No controlled substances, stated plainly before you ever book.

Frequently asked questions
Good questions, clear answers
I'm faculty and want care outside the university system.
Built in: unaffiliated, never billed through insurance, records private. Many faculty and staff choose us for that separation.
Does care continue over summer break?
Yes, by video from wherever you are, provided you are in a state where we hold licenses at appointment time.
Do you prescribe stimulants or benzodiazepines?
No, anywhere. We are upfront about it before you book, and skilled with the non controlled options the evidence supports.
How do labs work with a telehealth practice?
We coordinate orders through your local clinic or lab, lithium levels, metabolic panels, thyroid checks, and review results together. Telehealth changes the visit, not the monitoring standard.
Can you take over prescriptions from my previous provider?
Usually yes, for non controlled medications, after an evaluation and records review. Switching should not mean starting over or missing a refill.
