Starting Psychiatry/medication

Need more help deciding?

Psychiatric providers specialize in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions. Their medical advice and treatment might involve therapy, medication, or both. If you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition, consider talking to an online psychiatric provider at Thriveworks in Winston-Salem, NC. Our team is able to help you over video, enabling you to get the help that they need from the comfort and convenience of home. Give us a call when you’re ready to schedule your first session.

Who Can a Psychiatrist Help?

Psychiatric providers can help many different people. Broadly speaking, they can help those who may be experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition. Here are a couple of mental health conditions that are commonly diagnosed and/or treated by a psychiatrist:

  • Depressive disorders: There are different types of depression including major depressive disorder, minor depression, bipolar disorder, seasonal affective disorder, postpartum depression, and others. If you are feeling depressed and believe that you may have a depressive disorder, a psychiatric provider can assess your symptoms, offer a diagnosis, and also provide you with a treatment plan or refer you to another professional for treatment.
  • Anxiety disorders: There are also different types of anxiety, which include generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and others. If you are exhibiting symptoms of an anxiety disorder, you should explain them to a psychiatric provider. They can identify what type of anxiety you might be experiencing, what may have caused it, and also offer treatment.

Psychiatric providers can go on to offer therapy, medication, or another form of treatment for the above conditions as well as substance abuse, addiction, and others. They can also work with another mental health provider to ensure you receive this treatment.

In addition, some psychiatric providers specialize in adolescent psychiatry, geriatric psychiatry, and others.

Psychiatrists vs. Psychologists: How Do They Differ?

The biggest difference between psychiatric providers and psychologies is that psychiatric providers are able to prescribe and manage medication. Typically, psychologists cannot (with the exception of those who practice in a few states).

If you do require or could benefit from medication, a psychiatric provider can help you find a medication that works the best for you. They’ll talk to you about how exactly you should take it, what side effects you might experience, and other important information related to medication management.

My Therapist Sara M. is an amazing Therapist. She is an excellent listener, coach, and is very attentive to the needs of the patient. I was able to connect with her in ways that I have not been able to connect with prior therapist. I am truly grateful to have found Thrivewoks and their referral to Sara M.

I’ve worked side-by-side with Suzanne Hillin on the frontlines of addiction, trauma, and serious mental illness for several years. Her knowledge of her profession runs deep, as well as her warmth, care, and concern for her clients. She’s the counselor you’ll want in your corner when facing any kind of challenge life throws your way.
