Psychiatry/medication FAQs

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 Albuquerque, NM 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 Albuquerque 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?

Anxiety disorders. Bipolar disorder. Depression. Eating disorders. These are all very difficult mental health disorders that can cause a great deal of strain on someone’s life. Mood swings, fatigue, anxiousness, feelings of worthlessness, body image issues, and insomnia are just a few of the negative effects that mental disorders can play on your mind and body.

When you’re dealing with a mental health struggle, it’s pertinent that you get the professional guidance and support you need to effectively deal with what you’re experiencing. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor and mental health professional who has gone through medical school. They are trained in the diagnosis and treatment of depression, anxiety, learning disorders, and many other mental health concerns.

These professionals also have the ability to prescribe medications that treat mental disorders. So no matter what you’re going through or how bad it is, know that a psychiatrist can help you through. The psychiatrists at Thriveworks Counseling in Albuquerque, NM are readily available to help you make positive changes in your life.

Should I Schedule a Psychiatry Appointment?

It is difficult for many of us to ask for help from others. This proves especially true when it comes to our mental health. While the stigma is slowly fading away, the stigma that surrounds mental health is still preventing many people from receiving the mental health services that they need to live a happy, healthy life. 

If you are feeling nervous or worried about talking to a psychiatrist, we want to assure you that this is a smart decision. If you are experiencing symptoms of a mental illness or you are dealing with another serious mental health challenge, your wellbeing relies on a professional’s help. Here at Thriveworks, you can look forward to a safe space that is free of judgment. 

You should consider scheduling a psychiatry appointment at Thriveworks in Albuquerque if you are experiencing any of the following:

  • Anxious, uncontrollable thoughts
  • Addictive behaviors or habits
  • Symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Trouble falling or staying asleep
  • Depressive thoughts and feelings
  • Thoughts of self-harm
  • Symptoms of an eating disorder
  • Nervous thoughts
  • Personality disorder or mood disorder concerns

Your psychiatrist will want to hear about every symptom that you are experiencing. This will enable them to make a proper diagnosis and come up with an effective treatment plan. Then, they can provide you with treatment and help you live better. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), cognitive behavioral therapy, psychotherapy, psychological tests, and other forms of therapy could be used.

Benefits of Working with an Online Psychiatrist  

It is hard to start counseling sometimes, let alone a new medication. We want to help ease your mind and answer any questions you have along the way. Our psychiatrists and nurse practitioners dedicate themselves to being a partner in your mental health journey and encourage you to be open and honest about what you are feeling.

When taking medication is the right path for you, your psychiatrist might prescribe a mood stabilizer, cognitive enhancer, or antidepressant. There are many different types of medications, and that’s why it’s important to work with a professional to manage them.

Working with a psychiatrist online has a lot of benefits that go beyond the task of managing your medication. Online counseling allows you to speak with your provider from wherever is the most convenient for you. In addition, online appointments are comfortable, easy, and affordable.

We understand that your schedule can get busy and it can be hard to find time to schedule appointments. Here at Thriveworks Counseling in Albuquerque, we have a broad range of appointment times so you can find something that best fits your needs.
