Starting Psychiatry/medication

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 Conroe, TX 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 Conroe 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?

Psychiatric providers specialize in the branch of medicine dealing with mental health and behavioral disorders. They’re trained to examine the underlying physiological as well as the psychological aspects of mental conditions like depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and eating disorders.

The compassionate psychiatric providers at Thriveworks in Conroe, TX use their top-rated expertise to diagnose, treat, and help prevent mental conditions, without ever forgetting a client’s individuality and unique life beyond their disorder. Reach out to schedule your first psychiatry appointment today and get the help you deserve.

Do Psychiatrists Always Prescribe Medication? 

Amongst mental health providers like counselors and psychologists, psychiatric providers are uniquely able to prescribe medication because they are medical doctors. But just because the licensed psychiatric providers at Thriveworks in Conroe, TX can prescribe psychotropic drugs like antidepressants and mood stabilizers, doesn’t mean that they don’t have additional, non-pharmaceutical mental health resources at their disposal. For example, psychiatrists are also trained in psychotherapy (talk therapy) modalities like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). 

But psychiatric treatment at Thriveworks in Conroe, TX doesn’t have to comprise just medication or just psychotherapy. Some of the most effective treatments use a fusion of both. And if you are prescribed medication, that doesn’t mean that you have to take it forever. Psychiatric providers at Thriveworks Conroe, TX can schedule follow-up appointments to make sure medications are still meeting your needs, and modify dosages and drugs as needed.

When Should I See a Psychiatrist?

A wide variety of issues can cause someone to seek out a psychiatric provider for the first time. Psychiatric providers at Thriveworks in Conroe, TX have experience helping clients with matters as mild as occasional sleeplessness and as acute as severe depression or manic episodes. If you experience any of the following issues or symptoms, a Thriveworks psychiatric provider may be able to help:

  • Sleeping too little or too much
  • Persistent, uncontrollable fears or worries
  • Focus or attention issues
  • Pronounced mental and/or physical slowness
  • Obsessions (mental fixations) or compulsions (repeated behaviors)
  • Eating disorders (anorexia and bulimia)
  • Addiction to sex, gambling, or something else
  • Hallucinations
  • Manias
  • Libido issues
  • Social anxiety
  • Phobias
  • Panic attacks
  • Feelings of acute sadness that last longer than two weeks

A licensed psychiatric provider in Conroe, TX can consult with other mental health providers at Thriveworks to supplement psychiatric support as needed. For example, someone who suffers from anxiety or depression may have a parallel alcohol issue that a licensed substance abuse counselor at Thriveworks can treat. Or a psychiatric provider can refer a client to another Thriveworks colleague, like a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), if that client’s mental disorder is contributing to problems at home.

Are Psychiatrists at Thriveworks Expensive?

The psychiatric providers at Thriveworks accept most health insurances. Therefore, Thriveworks clients can access premium psychiatric care with minimal out-of-pocket costs to themselves. 

Psychiatric clients should also consider how expensive it can be to have their lives disrupted by a mental disorder. People suffering from manias can charge huge amounts to their credit cards in spending sprees. People suffering from depression can stop showing up for work and lose their jobs. The personal costs of mental disorders can be huge when people don’t seek out prompt, effective treatment.

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
