Psychiatry vs. Psychology

Psychiatrists are trained medical doctors and can prescribe medications. They spend much of their time with patients on medication management as a course of treatment.

Psychologists focus extensively on psychotherapy and treating emotional and mental suffering in patients with behavioral intervention.

Psychiatrists often recommend to pair medication management along with cognitive behavioral therapy to create a more holistic treatment plan.

Conditions That Can be Treated Through Psychiatry

People with anxiety experience fear and dread as a response to certain situations or objects. Symptoms can include physical signs of panic or anxiety that are not appropriate for the environment, like an increased heartbeat. Anxiety disorders include generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and specific phobias.

Understanding Medication Management

Psychiatric medication came into use at the end of the 19th century as an alternative to traditional restraint methods used to control patients. Psychiatric medications have evolved since these early days. Today, mental health professionals have multiple options that can treat a wide range of disorders.

Antidepressants are the most widely used medication in psychiatry. As their name indicates, these medications work to combat the symptoms of depression. These medications can be useful for patients with other disorders, as well, including anxiety disorders or ADHD.

Getting Help With Psychiatric Medication Management

Psychiatric medications take careful medication management in which the patient and psychiatrist ensure that the medication is working effectively and safely. It is very important that patients adhere to all dosages and guidelines established by their doctor.

Bodies can adjust to medications over time, so it is important to continue medication management as long as you are on a medication to make sure that it continues working effectively for you. This process is especially crucial when you begin a new medication. You and your mental health professional should watch for side effect, as each medication affects each patient in different ways.

Some mental health disorders are best treated by therapy, while others are effectively treated through therapy and medication. More often than not, the most successful interventions combine the two. For example, a patient receiving exposure therapy for OCD may need medication to ameliorate their symptoms as they practice techniques learned in therapy.

Telehealth Treatment Options For Psychiatry

Patients who are unable to get into LifeStance’s offices may be able to receive prescriptions and manage their medication thanks to Telepsychiatry.

An important branch of Telehealth, Telepsychiatry allows psychiatrists to consult with patients and prescribe medications remotely via the internet. All that is required is an internet-connected device and a private space from which to conduct a session.

Consultations take place online via a teleconferencing interface and software provided by LifeStance. Our Telepsychiatry sessions are designed to ensure and protect patient privacy, and they deliver all the benefits of our in-office sessions.
