Psychiatric Clinic
The concept of a psychiatric clinic is not very new, but if you go and read the history, you would realize that it was a much scarier place than what it is today. With plenty of reforms, over the years, medical professionals have made their occupation more client friendly than it was before.
Similarly, psychiatrists have worked hard to break away from the stigma that surrounds the mental health field. Even today, the rate at which acceptance is building is very slow compared to the rising need. But all we can do is provide awareness and efficient healthcare systems.
Psychiatrists are trained medical doctors specializing in diagnosing illnesses, managing treatment plans, and providing a range of therapies for mental illnesses. They are trained and specialized medical doctors with an MD in psychiatry.
A psychiatrist would provide you with medication depending on your problem. But they are also responsible to understand the flow of your condition, and how it progresses.
The reality is that it would take a few tries to find a medication that is suitable for your symptoms and works well with your immune system. Approx. 20 days are needed to see the effect of a medication on the body. Medications these days differ from what is seen on popular tv. There are very few side effects, and the doctor takes care to see your medical history before providing you with any medication.
Commonly used medications
- Antidepressants – for treatment of depression, PTSD, anxiety, OCD, and PTSD.
- Antipsychotic medications – for treatment of psychotic symptoms (delusions and hallucinations) and schizophrenia.
- Mood regulators – for treatment of bipolar disorder.
It is advised that you ask your doctor any questions, doubts, or additional information that you might have. Offering accurate details of your symptoms would benefit you in the long run. The psychiatrist would also recommend undergoing therapy and rehabilitation, depending on your situation. These two areas are needed to manage your symptoms or to relearn behaviors and skills respectively.
