Psychiatric Treatment: What Does It Look Like?

Psychiatric treatment can vary from person to person, depending on their mental illness and specific presentation of symptoms. A psychiatric provider is qualified to make a treatment recommendation and then even carry out that treatment themselves.

As we mentioned earlier, both therapy and medication prove to help people with a range of disorders. Sometimes, a combination of the two is the most effective approach. What do psychiatrists consider when they recommend this or that treatment?

  • Psychiatric medication is used to alleviate one’s symptoms. So, if the individual is suffering significantly from his or her symptoms, such as fatigue, low energy, and lack of concentration, they might benefit from medication.
  • Psychotherapy is another effective treatment method that can narrow in on one’s causes and triggers. For example, it can help one understand and address the cause of their depression or anxiety.
  • A combination of psychiatric medication and psychotherapy can help one address the cause(s) of their illness and alleviate their symptoms. Additionally, medication often improves the effectiveness of psychotherapy.

Your psychiatrist will work to understand your symptoms and then make their treatment recommendation from there. In any case, you can then receive this treatment at Thriveworks Counseling. Our psychiatric nurse practitioners can prescribe medication and help you manage it. They can also lead psychotherapy or set you up with a therapist.

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.
