Let a Psychiatrist Help You Cope With Your Grief

The thought of seeking help from a psychiatrist for mental health treatment gives some people pause. They may fear it, distrust it or think there’s a stigma attached to it. The reality is that a psychiatrist is simply a medical doctor who specializes in mental health. A psychiatrist is qualified to assess the mental and physical aspects of psychological problems.

The healing process is tailored to each patient’s needs. And, of course, patients are treated with total confidentiality, whatever the nature of their issues. 

People seek psychiatric help for many reasons. Their problems can be sudden or long-term. Psychotherapy is a talking relationship between a therapist and his patients. It can treat a broad variety of mental disorders and emotional difficulties. The goal of psychotherapy is to eliminate or control disabling or troubling symptoms so the patient can function better. Depending on the extent of the problem, treatment may take just a few sessions for one or two weeks or many sessions over a few years. 

Because a psychiatrist is a physician, he (or she) is licensed to order or perform a full range of medical laboratory and psychological tests which, combined with talk therapy, help provide a view of a patient's physical and mental states. His education and clinical training equip him to: understand the complex relationships between emotional and other medical illnesses; evaluate medical and psychological data; work with patients to develop treatment plans; and link symptoms with genetics and family history. 

Psychiatric medications treat many mental health issues quite effectively. If you’re considering psychiatric care, talk with a psychiatrist to see if a blended approach—medication and talk therapy—would benefit you most.

Some patients feel a need to find the right rapport with a psychiatrist. Once you find that rapport, be patient with the process. Psychotherapy isn’t always a quick fix, but it can be a powerful resource for helping you cope with a mental health issue, improving relationships or dealing with a difficult situation.
