When it comes to treating difficult mental health conditions, like stubborn forms of anxiety, depression, anger, and other issues, psychiatry and medication management techniques are effective solutions for helping clients manage their symptoms. Perhaps you’re even looking to talk to a psychiatrist—but maybe aren’t sure where to begin. Or if they can help you.
Thriveworks Conway, AR can assist with many types of mental health conditions, even if you aren’t sure what’s wrong. You can work together with a psychiatric nurse practitioner (NP) who will craft an individualized psychiatric treatment plan that addresses your needs and concerns step by step.
What Is Psychiatry?
Psychiatry treats the symptoms of mental health conditions. Unlike other mental health professionals, our psychiatric nurse practitioners can utilize medications (known as medication management) to treat mental health conditions. Psychiatric providers are sometimes licensed therapists, as well.
With their strong medical background, these providers can assist clients in unique ways. Psychiatric professionals can:
- Diagnose and treat persistent or severe mental health disorders and conditions
- Prescribe helpful medication to alleviate a client’s symptoms
- Use a combinative approach with both therapy and prescriptions
Psychiatrists and NPs are also able to collaborate with therapists, social workers, and counselors to offer medication management services together with therapy. And for some conditions, especially complex ones like anxiety, treatment with medication and psychotherapy is far more effective than either treatment on its own.
But in general, only psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) can prescribe medications, while psychologists, counselors, and therapists can not.
