Adult psychiatry is a branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing mental health disorders in adults. Psychiatrists assess both the psychological and physical aspects of mental illness.
Adult psychiatrists treat a wide range of mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, PTSD, OCD, and personality disorders, among others.
Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can prescribe medication, whereas psychologists focus primarily on therapy and counselling but cannot prescribe medication in most regions.
You may benefit from seeing a psychiatrist if you're experiencing significant changes in mood, behavior, or thought processes, such as persistent sadness, anxiety, delusions, or difficulty functioning in daily life.
Adult psychiatrists may offer a combination of treatments, including psychotherapy (talk therapy), medications (antidepressants, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers), and other interventions like electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for severe cases.
Psychiatrists diagnose mental health disorders through comprehensive evaluations, including clinical interviews, medical history, and, when necessary, psychological testing. They may also consider biological factors like genetics and brain chemistry.
Treatment length varies depending on the condition and individual needs. Some may require short-term treatment, while others with chronic conditions might need long-term care. Regular follow-ups help tailor the treatment plan over time.
No, medications are one component of treatment. Psychiatrists also recommend therapy, lifestyle changes, and coping strategies to address the root causes and management of mental health disorders.
Yes, adult psychiatrists are bound by strict confidentiality laws. Unless there's a risk of harm to yourself or others, your information remains private.
During your first appointment, the psychiatrist will ask about your medical history, symptoms, and life circumstances. They will use this information to develop a treatment plan, which may include therapy, medication, or other interventions.
