What is Psychiatric Therapy?
Don’t know much about psychiatric therapy? No problem! Psychiatry is an area of medicine that involves the studying, diagnosing, and treating of mental health disorders, which can commonly include depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. Psychiatric services can be provided to individuals, groups, or families under the supervision of a licensed psychiatrist or licensed psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP). Psychiatrists or PMHNPs are primarily responsible for the medical and clinical evaluation, diagnosis, formulating treatment plan (which may include prescribing psychotropic medication), offering brief psychotherapy when necessary, and providing ongoing medication management services to help manage psychiatric conditions that interfere with a patient’s quality of life. In addition, psychiatrists and PMHNP have the professional and clinical background to diagnose and/or treat other mental and social problems a patient may face on a daily basis.
