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 Norman, OK 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 Norman 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?

Matthew couldn’t sleep. He was up at all hours of the night, pacing the house, sometimes waking up his wife and kids by accident. He’d tried everything to cure his insomnia. He’d cut back on coffee intake. He’d stopped drinking beer in the evenings. He’d stopped looking at smartphone, television, and computer screens a few hours before bed. But nothing seemed to help. He just felt too anxious in the middle of the night. His mind teemed with scary images, and he worried about the safety of his family. 

Matthew’s wife suggested that he see a psychiatrist, but Matthew didn’t just want a prescription for sleep aids or something. He wanted to be treated more holistically, not just with drugs that might make him groggy the next day. And he wanted to know why he couldn’t sleep, and to learn cognitive strategies for getting to sleep–and staying asleep. Could a psychiatrist really help him?

A psychiatrist at Thriveworks in Norman, OK could help Matthew manage his symptoms of insomnia. Our fully licensed, highly qualified team of psychiatrists at Thriveworks is adept at understanding the whys and hows of a mental health disorder. They can educate clients about the potential physical and psychological causes behind their symptoms and what can be done to help. 

What Kinds of Mental Health Conditions Can a Psychiatrist Treat? 

Psychiatrists at Thriveworks in Norman, OK treat every client as the unique individual they are. They know that mental health conditions can be informed by both highly personalized nature and nurture.

  • Clinical/major depression

  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Phobias

  • Attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder

Can a Psychiatrist Do Talk Therapy (Psychotherapy)?

In medical school, psychiatrists are trained in a variety of psychotherapy approaches. The default treatment at Thriveworks in Norman, OK isn’t a prescription for a psychotropic drug. Our psychiatrists and their clients can explore a broad range of treatment options, including specialty, evidence-based psychotherapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Psychiatrists at Thriveworks in Norman, OK can also use psychotherapy techniques like prolonged exposure therapy (PE) to treat conditions like PTSD.

But there are many paths to mental wellness, and a top-rated, expert psychiatrist at Thriveworks in Norman, OK can help you find them together. 

Are There Advantages to Seeing a Psychiatrist Online?
