When Should I Seek a Psychiatrist’s Help?

As we explained above, psychiatrists specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of mental health disorders. You should seek a psychiatrist’s help if you are experiencing harmful symptoms of a mental health condition. The following symptoms are common and also damaging:

  • Out-of-control, negative thinking
  • Feelings of despair or hopelessness
  • Lack of interest in daily activities
  • Isolation from others, including loved ones
  • Difficulty focusing at school or work
  • Moodiness or irritability
  • General unhappiness or dissatisfaction with life
  • Difficulty sleeping (hypersomnia or insomnia)

If you are experiencing all or some of these symptoms, you might be suffering with a mental illness. It’s important that you talk to a psychiatrist about how you are feeling so that they can assess your case and put together a plan for helping you heal.

Medication: Effective Mental Health Treatment

Counseling, or therapy, proves time and time again to help people heal, grow, and manage their challenges. This is exactly why we offer counseling services here at Thriveworks. However, sometimes counseling isn’t the only treatment that someone needs. There are instances where individuals need or can benefit from taking a prescription medication.

Psychiatric providers are in a unique position, compared with other mental health professionals, in that they can prescribe medication to their clients. Again, these individuals studied psychiatry, which is a branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating mental health conditions. If they determine that medication might help your condition, they will instruct you on exactly how to take your medication. 

They will also detail the potential negative side effects of your medication and continue to monitor any negative side effects. Sometimes, the first medication that is prescribed isn’t the right fit and that’s okay. Your Thriveworks psychiatric nurse practitioner will stay by your side throughout this journey and help you find a prescription medication that is the right fit.
