Who Should Schedule Psychiatric Services?

Mental health services are valuable to everyone’s livelihood. When it comes to mental health conditions like substance abuse and addiction, depression, or anxiety, psychiatric services can prove especially valuable. Here’s how it works:

• If you think that you might have an addiction or substance abuse problem, a psychiatric provider will first assess your symptoms and rely on self-report. In other words, they’ll ask you to describe your symptoms. Then, they can go on to offer a diagnosis, but most importantly, a recommendation for treatment. If they determine that you need or could benefit from therapy or medication, they might even provide you with treatment themselves. 
• If you think that you have depression or anxiety, your psychiatric provider will again want to understand what symptoms you have been experiencing. They will ask about your sleeping and eating habits, your appetite, and feelings like hopelessness or worthlessness. Once they understand the full picture, they can better offer a diagnosis and construct a plan for treatment. Again, they can provide you with therapy or medication themselves. 

We know that reaching out for mental health help can be scary or intimidating. But we also know that doing so is the right decision. And we think that you will find your time with a psychiatric provider to be incredibly helpful.

What Is the Difference Between a Psychiatrist and a Psychologist?

The major difference between psychiatric providers and psychologists is that the former can prescribe medication. This involves:

• Determining what medication their client might benefit from the most
• Ensuring their client understands exactly how to take the medication
• Explaining and monitoring any potential negative side effects
• Changing the client’s prescription as needed

If you are looking for medication management, an online psychiatric provider at Thriveworks in Greensboro, NC is here to offer their expertise.
