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 Allentown, PA specifically offer online psychiatry to their clients.

A psychiatrist’s main role in your care is to help diagnose and treat whatever underlying mental health issues you may be experiencing. Once a diagnosis is reached, your psychiatric provider can create a treatment plan that incorporates talk therapy and/or medication. Various forms of talk therapy are often used, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, interpersonal therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). While psychiatric providers are equipped to carry out talk therapy on their own, they may also refer you to a Thriveworks psychologist or therapist to conduct more consistent therapy sessions.
