Psychiatry Q&A

What is psychiatry?

Psychiatry is a field of medicine that diagnoses, treats, and prevents disorders that affect your mental, emotional, and behavioral health.

MedCare Clinics offers customized psychiatry services for adults and children. The team provides comprehensive diagnostic evaluations of your mental health and personalizes treatment plans to improve your sense of mental and emotional well-being.

Why would I need psychiatry services?

You can benefit from the psychiatry services available at MedCare Clinics if you need help managing symptoms of a mental, emotional, or behavioral disorder like:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Panic disorders
  • Schizophrenia
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
  • Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

The team also addresses substance abuse issues that can develop when you use drugs or alcohol to self-medicate your psychiatric symptoms.

You should schedule a diagnostic evaluation if you notice changes in your moods, personality, or behaviors or if these changes disrupt your life at home, school, work, or in social situations.

The psychiatry specialists complete a thorough physical exam and mental health evaluation to identify the cause of your symptoms. They customize a care plan to ease any symptoms you have and to prevent your condition from worsening.

What psychiatry treatments are available?

MedCare Clinics offers state-of-the-art therapies to keep psychiatric symptoms under control in support of your long-term medical health.

Depending on the nature of your condition, the medical team may use:

Psychological counseling

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or other forms of psychotherapy (talk therapy) help you understand how your mental or emotional health disorder affects your life. The team provides resources so you can cope with your symptoms in a healthy way, manage stress, and improve your relationships with others.

Medications

Varied medications are available to address psychiatric conditions. Many medications work by changing the chemical makeup of your brain to provide lasting relief of symptoms. The team also provides medication management services to ensure the medications you take are both safe and effective for your condition. 

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)

TMS, a noninvasive therapy, uses pulses of magnetic energy to stimulate the brain cells that play a role in regulating your moods and emotions. This treatment is an effective solution for people who can’t find symptom relief with therapy and medications.
