Psychiatric Services
At Family Psychological Services, Inc., we offer licensed mental health professionals eager to develop a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. From clinical psychology to psychiatric medication management, read on to learn more about how our mental health services can help you.
Why Work With a Psychiatrist?
When you want to treat mental health challenges effectively and learn how to live a more happy, functional day-to-day life, psychiatrists can play a key role. Unlike other mental health professionals, these experts can:
- Diagnose and Treat Disorders: Offer specialized training for evaluating patients and identifying a wide range of mental health disorders. This expertise can then be used to create a comprehensive treatment plan.
- Prescribe Medication: As medical doctors holding master’s degrees, psychiatrist treatment plans go a step further by being able to prescribe medication for conditions like depression, anxiety, and ADHD.
- Monitor Medication Effects: Psychiatrists track progress and make adjustments to medications for improved mental well-being.
- Address Co-Occurring Disorders: Psychiatrists can treat overlapping mental health conditions, such as anxiety and substance use disorders. Careful understanding of medication allows for safe and effective co-occurring treatment plans.
- Offer Long-Term Support: Whether managing chronic conditions or temporary challenges, psychiatrists provide treatment tailored to each patient’s ever-changing needs.
What Do Psychiatrists Treat?
While psychiatrists offer comparable mental health expertise to psychologists, their master’s or doctoral degree also allows them to prescribe medications. As a licensed medical doctor, they can help treat a variety of mental illnesses, from anxiety to depression and other mood disorders.
Mood Disorders
Common mental disorders in this category include major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder, bipolar I and II disorders. Psychiatrists can help with both talk therapy and psychiatric medication management.
- Antidepressants: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and other options for treating depression symptoms.
- Mood Stabilizers: For managing bipolar disorder and other mood disorders.
Anxiety Disorders
Common anxiety disorders include generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, specific phobias, and agoraphobia. Your psychiatrist can provide both interpersonal and medical treatment methods.
- SSRIs: Effective for generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorders.
- Common Psychiatric Drugs: Tailored to your unique anxiety-related mental health disorder.
Neurodevelopmental Disorders
To treat neurodevelopmental challenges like ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, and more, psychiatrists can prescribe medication and help you develop healthy coping strategies.
- Stimulant Medications: To enhance focus and reduce hyperactivity.
- Non-Stimulant Options: For those who may not respond well to stimulants
