Should I Talk to a Psychiatrist?

If you are exhibiting symptoms of a mental disorder and you are suffering as a result, you should talk to a psychiatrist or another psychiatric provider. These individuals are medical doctors who dedicate their careers to learning about psychiatry, mental disorders, and then putting that knowledge to work for people like you. They are uniquely positioned to…

• Understand what type of medication someone might best benefit from
• Prescribe medication
• Ensure the individual understands exactly how to take it
• Talk to the individual about potential side effects
• Conduct regular check-ins to ensure that it’s working as desired
• Change one’s prescription as needed if it isn’t working as desired

If you have symptoms of a mental illness and you’re looking for treatment, it’s important to know that effective treatment can look very different from one person to the next. One person might find success in talk therapy, which can be led by a psychiatrist, therapist, or psychologist. Another person might find success with medication, which can be prescribed by their psychiatrist. And another might find success in a combination of both.
