Here at Thriveworks Counseling in Athens, GA our psychiatric nurse practitioners are experts at diagnosing and treating a wide range of mental health concerns.

Here at our office in Athens, we are dedicated to providing you with holistic, client-focused care. To get started, just give us a call. 

When Should You Talk to a Psychiatrist?

There are many signs and symptoms to be on the lookout for if you think you or a loved one should talk to a mental health professional. For example:

  • Low self-esteem, concerns about your body image, and eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia
  • Mental illness symptoms such as stress, anxiety, depressive thoughts, memory problems, hallucinations, or difficulty regulating emotions
  • Insomnia, hypersomnia, or other sleep problems
  • Difficulty coping with significant life changes and stress
  • Violence or aggressive behaviors (towards yourself or others)
  • A change in your psychiatric medication
  • Addictive behaviors such as gambling, consuming alcohol, or substance abuse
  • You are a victim of abuse (psychological, sexual, or physical)
  • Life feels overwhelming, and you’re hopeless

All of these could be signs of mental health disorders such as mood disorders, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, or personality disorders. When you work with your Thriveworks psychiatric nurse practitioner, they will ensure you receive an accurate diagnosis and holistic treatment plan.

Having him as an unbiased, professional ear to listen to my situations has proven to be invaluable. So, many people in my life have tried to convince me to act in their interest and not my own.
