A therapist has an education specifically rooted in therapeutic practice, approaches, techniques, and treatment. They cannot prescribe medications for clients, thought they often refer clients to psychiatrists for medication management. Psychiatrists are medically trained doctors who specialize in mental health treatment, mainly through medication management and prescription, though they can also practice therapy.
Greenville, SC Psychiatry – Meet With Board-Certified Psychiatric Providers
Counseling for mental health concerns, such as depression and anxiety, is very effective and many people benefit greatly from meeting with a licensed professional therapist to improve the quality of their lives. For some people, the combination of medication management with counseling has proven to be helpful. In the same way that diet and exercise has helped many people lower their blood pressure or manage their diabetes, medication management has helped people stabilize their mood, increase focus, and treat symptoms of depression. Simply put, it can help increase the benefits of mental health therapy.
