Psychiatry/medication FAQs

Does Thriveworks offer psychiatric services?

Yes, we offer comprehensive psychiatric services to meet your mental health needs.

How does psychiatry work?

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 Round Rock, TX specifically offer online psychiatry to their clients.

What is the difference between a mental health therapist & psychiatrist?

A therapist has an education specifically rooted in therapeutic practice, approaches, techniques, and treatment. They cannot prescribe medications for clients, though they often refer clients to psychiatrists for medication management. Psychiatrists are medically trained doctors who specialize in mental health treatment, mainly through medication management and prescription, though they can also practice therapy.

What is a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (NP)?

A Psychiatry Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a highly trained and licensed professional who specializes in mental health care. They are qualified to diagnose and treat mental health conditions, prescribe medications, and provide therapy. Psychiatric NPs at Thriveworks are qualified to prescribe medications for a variety of mental health conditions. They work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan.

How do psychiatric providers diagnose?

Oftentimes, psychiatrists or psychiatric professionals will perform a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, which involves an in-depth discussion about your symptoms, medical history, and current medications. Once they reach a diagnosis, they may suggest starting certain medications depending on your condition and the intensity of your symptoms.

Can I receive psychiatric services online?

Yes. At Thriveworks, we offer online-only psychiatry services for optimal comfort and convenience.

How long does psychiatry last?

Psychiatric services at Thriveworks Round Rock can last for as little or as much time as the client needs to reach their treatment goals, whether that be a month or two or over the course of a year. Treatment length is heavily dependent on the condition(s) being treated, the course of treatment, and the client’s goals for treatment.

Is anxiety treated with psychiatry?

Psychiatrists are mental health professionals who can prescribe anxiety medication and provide therapeutic treatment for anxiety, although not all psychiatrists offer therapy. At Thriveworks, medication management occurs via online psychiatry sessions.

Does Thriveworks accept insurance for psychiatric services?

Yes, Thriveworks accepts most major insurance plans. We strive to make mental health care accessible and affordable for everyone.

What Is Psychiatry?

Psychiatry is a mental health field that focuses on diagnosing and treating mental health conditions. Unlike other mental health professionals, psychiatrists and psychiatric NPs can utilize medications (known as medication management) to treat mental health conditions.

With their strong medical background, these providers can assist clients in unique ways. Psychiatric professionals can: 

  • Diagnose and treat persistent or severe mental health disorders and conditions 
  • Prescribe helpful medication to alleviate a client’s symptoms
  • Use a combinative approach with both therapy and prescriptions 

Psychiatrists and psychiatric NPs are also able to collaborate with therapists, social workers, and counselors to offer medication management services together with therapy. And for some conditions, especially complex ones like anxiety, treatment with medication and psychotherapy is far more effective than either treatment on its own.

But in general, only psychiatrists and psychiatric NPs can prescribe medications, while psychologists, counselors, and therapists can not.

Is Psychiatry Right for Me?

One of the benefits of psychiatry and medication management is the wide swath of mental health conditions that can be treated with the right prescription. This means NPs and psychiatrists are experts at getting to know their clients so that they get it right when diagnosing different mental health conditions. 

Some of the general symptoms that many clients report led them to seek psychiatry and medication services include:

  • Extreme fears or anxiety
  • Panic attacks
  • Obsessive thinking or behavioral patterns
  • Emotional outbursts
  • Hallucinations or delusions
  • Changes in sleeping patterns
  • Self-harm
  • Grief
  • Alcohol use or gambling
  • Changes in appetite, eating habits, or problems with body image
  • Concentration, focus, and memory issues
  • Changes in energy levels
  • Issues of violence and aggression
  • Trauma
  • Feelings of despair or worthlessness

Some mental health issues can be caused by underlying medical issues, substance use, or new medications. A psychiatrist or nurse practitioner will first want to rule out physiological causes for your distress. This may involve a full physical assessment in addition to your psychological intake.

How Can Thriveworks Psychiatry Help You?

Telehealth and Psychiatry
