While many people are somewhat familiar with counseling and therapy, others aren’t too sure about what psychiatry is all about. It’s still a type of mental healthcare, and it’s a great way for everyday people to better manage and mitigate the effects of mental health disorders or conditions.
Psychiatrists are licensed therapists, which means that, as a psychologist would, they can conduct therapy and counseling sessions. They can also diagnose conditions and disorders as mental health professionals, but apart from these factors, they stand alone as a specialized type of provider.
Thriveworks psychiatrists are:
- Medical doctors: This means that they use their knowledge of medicine in combination with their therapeutic background. The result is a client experience that’s tailored to their specific situation and set of mental health needs.
- Able to prescribe medication: Psychiatrists can prescribe helpful medications to their clients. These prescriptions assist people in managing their mental health issues. While not everyone will need prescription medicine, it’s just another unique way that psychiatry can benefit everyday people.
- Available online: We get it—you’re busy. It’s hard to find time to commute to a psychiatrist’s office while you’re working, balancing your family life, and trying to stay on top of other commitments you’ve made. With online psychiatry, say goodbye to not being able to prioritize your mental health needs because of a hectic schedule. Connect from home, the office, or really anywhere. As long as you have reliable internet and the ability to talk privately, online psychiatry can go with you anywhere.
Even with these great benefits that come along with online psychiatry, we understand that it’s intimidating to start considering whether you’ll need to see a psychiatrist or start medication. Keep in mind that our team of mental health professionals in Carlsbad, CA is trained to listen and customize your treatment plan to your needs. Your feedback and treatment preferences will be incorporated into your therapy or psychiatry experience.
