Are your thoughts and behaviors “normal” or do they need to be modified a bit so you can live a more fulfilling life? A psychiatrist can help diagnose, treat, and even prevent mental health disorders that might be affecting your happiness.
Psychiatrists and other psychiatric providers are trained to identify underlying physical conditions that can affect your feelings and behavior. In addition to diagnosing mental health disorders, they can also prescribe medication to treat them effectively. And at Thriveworks, you can look forward to receiving their care online because our psychiatric nurse practitioners work with their clients in a virtual environment over video. If you’re interested in scheduling a telepsychiatry appointment, give Thriveworks in Lakewood, OH a call.
What Conditions Can a Psychiatrist Treat?
A Thriveworks psychiatric nurse practitioner in Lakewood, OH, is trained to diagnose and treat the following conditions:
- Bipolar I and II disorders
- Anxiety disorders
- Clinical depression
- Borderline personality disorder
- Anorexia
- Bulimia
- Schizophrenia
- Trauma
- Insomnia
- Addiction
- Self-harm
- Hyperactivity
The above list is not definitive. And disorders aren’t mutually exclusive. Mental health issues and symptoms are often interconnected. In any case, our psychiatric nurse practitioners at Thriveworks in Lakewood, OH can help.
Do Psychiatrists and Psychologists Work Together?
Psychiatrists may diagnose a condition, then refer you to a therapist or another provider for regular counseling sessions. They may collaborate with another member of your mental health team on medication management and compliance.
Psychiatric treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all, and it can change over time. Not every client needs to be on psychiatric medication forever. Other clients find that they can be on medication long-term with few side effects. And some clients don’t require medication at all and find that they benefit solely from talk therapy with a Thriveworks counselor or psychologist in Lakewood, OH. It all depends on your assessment and your specific needs.
