Starting Psychiatry/medication

Does Thriveworks offer psychiatric services?

Yes, we offer comprehensive psychiatric services to meet your mental health needs.

How does psychiatry work?

Psychiatry allows people struggling to manage mental conditions or disorders to get access to medications that will make daily functioning easier, as well as work through any mental factors that might be causing or worsening their condition. Though medications can’t cure mental disorders, medication can make symptoms more manageable, making the process of psychotherapeutic treatment easier and more effective. Psychiatric care can be available through in-person psychiatry and online psychiatry, depending on where you live and your own preferences. However, psychiatric providers at Thriveworks in Atlanta, GA specifically offer online psychiatry to their clients.

What is the difference between a mental health therapist & psychiatrist?

A therapist has an education specifically rooted in therapeutic practice, approaches, techniques, and treatment. They cannot prescribe medications for clients, though 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.

What is a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (NP)?

A Psychiatry Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a highly trained and licensed professional who specializes in mental health care. They are qualified to diagnose and treat mental health conditions, prescribe medications, and provide therapy. Psychiatric NPs at Thriveworks are qualified to prescribe medications for a variety of mental health conditions. They work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan.

How do psychiatric providers diagnose?

Oftentimes, psychiatrists or psychiatric professionals will perform a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, which involves an in-depth discussion about your symptoms, medical history, and current medications. Once they reach a diagnosis, they may suggest starting certain medications depending on your condition and the intensity of your symptoms.

Can I receive psychiatric services online?

Yes. At Thriveworks, we offer online-only psychiatry services for optimal comfort and convenience.

How long does psychiatry last?

Psychiatric services at Thriveworks Atlanta can last for as little or as much time as the client needs to reach their treatment goals, whether that be a month or two or over the course of a year. Treatment length is heavily dependent on the condition(s) being treated, the course of treatment, and the client’s goals for treatment.

Is anxiety treated with psychiatry?

Psychiatrists are mental health professionals who can prescribe anxiety medication and provide therapeutic treatment for anxiety, although not all psychiatrists offer therapy. At Thriveworks, medication management occurs via online psychiatry sessions.

Does Thriveworks accept insurance for psychiatric services?

Yes, Thriveworks accepts most major insurance plans. We strive to make mental health care accessible and affordable for everyone.

Need more help deciding?

Psychiatrists can help people suffering from other mental health disorders. They have the training and experience to diagnose, manage, and treat a wide range of concerns. At Thriveworks Counseling in Sandy Springs, GA, we offer holistic psychiatric care to our clients. If you feel like you or someone you know might also benefit from working with a psychiatrist, consider reaching out to our office.

Who Needs Psychiatric Care?

Psychiatrists treat a wide range of mental health conditions and disorders. They are able to provide an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan as well as prescribe medication as needed. In some instances, psychiatric nurse practitioners also specialize in fields such as child and adolescent psychiatry, addiction psychiatry, and geriatric psychiatry.

There are many reasons why you might start working with a psychiatrist. Some factors to consider include:

  • Violence or aggressive behaviors (towards yourself or others)
  • A change in your medication treatment
  • Addictive behaviors such as gambling, consuming alcohol, or substance abuse
  • You are a victim of abuse (psychological, sexual, or physical)
  • You’re seeking professional counseling or therapy
  • Life seems overwhelming and you’re feeling hopeless
  • Low self-esteem, concerns about your body image, and eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia
  • Mental illness symptoms such as stress, anxiety, depressive thoughts, memory problems, hallucinations, or difficulty regulating emotions
  • Insomnia, hypersomnia, or other sleep problems
  • Difficulty coping with significant life changes and stress

Anxiety disorders, emotional disorders, and depressive disorders are just a few of the areas that one of our psychiatrists can provide you help with. If there is something holding you back from living the happy, successful life you want, it would be a smart decision to reach out to our office for some assistance.
