Psychiatry
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor specializing in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. They are equipped to handle both the psychological and physical aspects of mental health issues. Psychiatrists provide care for a range of problems, from acute crises like panic attacks or hallucinations to chronic issues such as persistent sadness or anxiety.
Our psychiatrists use various treatments, including medications, psychotherapy, and other interventions tailored to each patient’s needs. Psychotherapy, or talk therapy, involves a therapeutic dialogue aimed at addressing mental disorders and emotional difficulties, and can be done individually, with couples, families, or in groups. Psychiatrists also prescribe and monitor medications that can help manage psychiatric conditions by altering brain chemistry. Regular follow-ups are essential to assess the effectiveness and adjust treatment as needed.
