Starting Psychiatry/medication

Need more help deciding?

The best psychiatrists know that initial appointments may be routine for them, but potentially intimidating for individuals seeing a psychiatrist for the first time. It can require a lot of courage for someone suffering from a mental health condition to book that first therapy session, and people should be applauded for taking that plunge. At the same time that great psychiatrists should validate their clients’ brave efforts to get well, they also need to challenge them to set goals and expectations for themselves, and work hard to make treatments successful. 

At Thriveworks in Riverside, CA, our psychiatric nurse practitioners offer the encouragement, compassion, and expert support that clients need to recover from, prevent, or manage their mental health conditions. Thriveworks providers meet with their clients online to diagnose and treat a variety of psychological and behavioral issues like depression, anxiety, eating disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and more. Our psychiatric nurse practitioners bring both realism and hope to the treatment process, which is why they’re rated at the top of their field. Reach out today to schedule your first psychiatry session.

What Are the Signs and Symptoms That May Indicate I Should See a Psychiatrist?

Symptoms of mental and behavioral disorders can vary widely from person to person, but there are a few common signs that you can look out for. If any of the following symptoms begin causing dysfunction in your life, it may be time to reach out to a psychiatrist:

  • Sleeping too much or too little (insomnia)
  • Persistent, uncontrollable fears or worries
  • Obsessions (mental fixations) or compulsions (repetitive behaviors)
  • Focus or attention issues
  • Mental and physical slowness
  • Eating disorders
  • Addiction 
  • Hallucinations
  • Manias
  • Sex issues
  • Social anxiety
  • Panic attacks
  • Feelings of sadness or despair that last longer than two weeks

Can I Afford to See a Psychiatrist Regularly? 

Chances are, your chosen psychiatric nurse practitioner at Thriveworks in Riverside, CA will be covered by your medical insurance. Because all our mental health providers are fully licensed, their sessions are typically covered by health insurance. 

It’s also useful to consider the high cost of not getting the necessary treatment for a mental health or behavioral disorder.

A psychiatric nurse practitioner at Thriveworks in Riverside, CA can help you take the necessary steps to prevent costly disruptions to your daily routine.

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
