What Is Psychiatry?
Psychiatry is a field of medicine focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing mental health issues. PMHNPs are medical professionals who treat mental disorders, emotional issues, and behavioral disorders using psychotherapy, prescription medications, or a combination of the two. They are highly trained to help you prioritize your mental wellness and overcome challenges.
How Psychiatry Can Help You
Contrary to the myth that psychiatry is only for severe mental health issues, PMHNPs can help with a wide variety of psychological problems, including:
- Depression and mood disorders
- Anxiety and panic disorders
- Child, adolescent, and teen therapy
- Anger management
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Borderline personality disorder (BPD)
- Eating disorders
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
- Bipolar disorder
Our PMHNPs are experts in helping people prioritize their mental wellbeing and work through mental health issues.
What To Expect From Psychiatric Treatment
Your first session with a PMHNP will involve getting to know you, understanding your symptoms, and setting treatment goals. This information will form the basis of a personalized treatment plan.
Most plans involve psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy, which includes guided conversations to help you understand your state of mind, learn healthy mental habits, and reduce symptoms. As medical professionals, PMHNPs can also prescribe medications if necessary, ensuring you understand any potential side effects and benefits.
