What is Adult Psychiatry?
Adult psychiatry is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing psychological disorders. Psychiatrists—medical doctors trained in the field—utilize a combination of psychiatric medications and psychiatric therapy to address a range of mental health concerns. At TMZ Behavioral Care, we offer comprehensive mental health treatment for adults to help individuals manage conditions such as anxiety, depression, and more.
While both psychiatrists and psychologists aim to help individuals manage mental health challenges, their approaches differ significantly:
- Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can prescribe medication and often focus on the pharmacological management of mental health conditions.
- Psychologists primarily focus on psychotherapy, utilizing talk therapy methods like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to alleviate psychological distress.
For comprehensive care, many patients benefit from combining psychiatric medications with psychiatric therapy to address the psychological and biological aspects of mental health.
At TMZ Behavioral Care, we prioritize patient autonomy. Our psychiatric doctors provide detailed information about all treatment options, including both medication and psychiatric therapy, allowing patients to make well-informed decisions about their care. Whether you choose online psychiatry or in-person visits, we support you in navigating your treatment plan with full understanding and transparency.
If you and your provider agree that psychiatric medications are a beneficial part of your treatment plan, we will guide you through the options available. Common medications include:
- Antidepressants for mood regulation
- Anti-anxiety medications for anxiety disorders
- Stimulants for ADHD
- Mood stabilizers for conditions like bipolar disorder
With adult mental health services available across 33 states, we ensure that medication management is tailored to your specific needs and treatment goals.
Medication management is a crucial part of psychiatric treatment. At TMZ Behavioral Care, we emphasize regular check-ins to monitor the effectiveness of medications and manage any potential side effects. Our medical psychiatrists are committed to adjusting your treatment as needed to ensure the best possible outcomes.
If you experience severe side effects, you should contact your provider immediately. For life-threatening reactions, seek emergency medical care right away.
