Many of us have a friend who seems to struggle. They talk about being unable to sleep, having nightmares, and losing focus at work. Maybe they’re withdrawing more and more, skipping events, and not returning calls. And when they do call, their voice sounds desperate or depressed.
You are worried. What if your friend truly is suffering from a mental health issue? You want to help but aren’t sure how. You can offer to listen to their problems but you don’t have the expertise or knowledge to be able to truly help.
What if your friends are asking the same questions about you?
Mental health disorders are a serious concern in the U.S. More than 50 million people live with some form of mental illness. Even more troubling, according to the National Institute of Mental Health, only about half receive treatment.
Getting help for anxiety disorders, depression, or any form of mental illness is important. It can help you identify the causes of your symptoms and how to cope with them. With therapy and perhaps medication, you can live a healthier, more confident life.
Thriveworks offers counseling, both in-person and online, that can help individuals, couples, and families work through their concerns. The psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, and therapists at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Elk Grove are here to help.
Should I Speak With a Board-Certified Psychiatrist?
Psychiatrists are different from other mental health professionals and can offer expanded treatment services. As medical doctors, psychiatrists are trained to diagnose mental and physical issues. After medical school, psychiatrists complete a four-year residency in which they treat a variety of clients and conditions in hospital and clinical settings.
Psychiatrists are licensed to prescribe medication, which can be an important component of treatment. Some people benefit from psychotherapy, some from medication, and others from a combination of treatment options.
Psychiatrists also can work with other medical professionals, including your primary care physician, to develop a comprehensive care plan. When you’re ready to make a psychiatry appointment, reach out to us at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Elk Grove to get started.
