Starting Psychiatry/medication

Need more help deciding?

Millions of successful, happy, loving people grapple with mental health issues in the U.S every single year. And many have found that speaking to a professional, such as a psychiatrist, has helped them confront the symptoms and their causes. They have learned that those symptoms do not define them.

If you’re struggling with symptoms of a mental health disorder, you don’t have to let them define you either. Consider making an appointment to speak with a psychiatric provider at Thriveworks in Charlotte, NC.

When Should I Consider Consulting With a Psychiatrist?

Psychiatrists perform a vital role in society. They specialize in studying, treating, and preventing mental health disorders. As medical doctors, psychiatrists can determine the effects of mental illness on your physical well-being (and vice versa) by monitoring changes in blood pressure, weight, and other physical symptoms.

They can treat anyone who is displaying symptoms, not just those whose conditions are the most severe. Psychiatrists treat your friends and neighbors, co-workers and acquaintances, even successful celebrities whose lives appear so perfect from a distance.

What might cause you to consider seeing a psychiatrist? No person’s symptoms are the same, either in appearance or severity, but these are some of the most common:

  • Feeling sad or withdrawn for a significant period of time
  • Considering self-harm
  • Panic attacks or sudden bouts of unexplained fear or anxiety
  • Risky, out-of-control, or self-destructive behavior
  • Unexplained weight gain or loss
  • Intense worry
  • Seeing or hearing things that aren’t there
  • Excessive alcohol or drug use

These and other symptoms can be debilitating but discussing them with a mental health professional can help. To get started, consider making an appointment with a psychiatric provider at Thriveworks in Charlotte, NC.

What Is the Role of a Psychiatrist?

Psychiatrists undergo a lengthy educational process including medical school and a four-year psychiatry residency, often conducted in hospitals or clinics. During this residency, psychiatrists treat people with a variety of mental health issues including depression, anxiety, and personality disorders. Psychiatrists then take an exam administered by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology to become certified and must be recertified every ten years.

As medical doctors with this level of education, psychiatrists offer a unique perspective when assessing our mental health. They can comprehensively assess both psychological and physical symptoms, perform a physical examination, and administer a number of psychological tests to arrive at a diagnosis. Through this process, psychiatrists are able to differentiate specific mental disorders from other conditions whose symptoms might present as mental illnesses.

Upon diagnosing a mental health issue, psychiatrists can employ a variety of treatment methods. Psychotherapy and other kinds of talk therapy are common and can be customized for your specific needs. For example, a psychiatrist might suggest cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhealthy actions or patterns of behavior. Or they might use exposure therapy to help you work through a particular fear or phobia.

Psychiatrists also are licensed to prescribe medications if that is determined the best approach for your situation. If it is, your psychiatrist will work with you to ensure it is having the desired effect and can monitor for potential side effects.

At Thriveworks, our mental health professionals will customize a plan specifically for you. To get started, make an appointment today at Thriveworks in Charlotte, NC.

I have been seeing Terryn Maher for a couple of months now and she is awesome!! Very knowledgeable, attentive, thorough, thoughtful, caring, etc. I could go on for awhile. I’ve been in counseling with another therapist for about 14 years but I already feel like I’m getting so much more from working with Terryn. Thriveworks on a whole has been great to work with as well. They are easy to work with and schedule appointments with. I was nervous about working with a company over directly with just the therapist but it has actually worked out well. I highly recommend them!

I've worked with Mrs. Matson for close to a year now and I can say with certainty that she's a great counselor to go to for help with emotional regulation and understanding, grief management, and processing trauma in healthy and beneficial ways. Her use of meditation techniques to get to the root of my emotions and habits have helped me understand so much about myself and why I operate the way I do. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone just starting out looking for a good counselor, or anyone looking for a friendly empathetic professional who listens well and draws from a wealth of information to provide really quality services.

I have seen Dr. Daniel Stillwell for a year for individual and couples counseling and I trust him immensely. He is a skilled, authentic, and highly competent professional. I’ve also referred him to others and they described the same. Thriveworks staff have been very helpful with insurance and appointments.

Adriana Blanco is wonderful. I never felt any judgement from her during our sessions. She is compassionate, firm and extremely knowledgeable. I could not see myself opening up as much with another counselor, thank you for putting her in my path.
