Psychiatry Q & A

What is psychiatry?

Psychiatry is a specialized area of medicine that focuses on medical management of your mental and emotional well-being through the use of medication and behavioral therapy. After completing medical school, the psychiatric physicians at 2nd Chance attended specialized residency programs so they can provide you with the expert care you need to manage your mental health and wellness.

What conditions does psychiatry treat?

The psychiatry team at 2nd Chance provides mental health services for many conditions. Some of the most commonly treated conditions include:

  • Bipolar disorder
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Anxiety
  • Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder
  • Panic disorder
  • Depression
  • Adjustment disorder

The psychiatry team also specializes in addiction and recovery. The treatment center has very specific programs for opioid and alcohol use disorder. These two conditions affect how the brain operates, which impacts behavior and mental health.

What can I expect from psychiatry care?

Your psychiatrist at 2nd Chance provides comprehensive treatment when you come in for care. During your initial evaluation, your specialist reviews your medical and mental health history, as well as your medication use. Your specialist may also conduct special testing to assess your mental health and formulate a diagnosis.

Your psychiatrist then reviews your medication options for treating your mental health condition. When it comes to medication, the team at 2nd Chance takes an evidence-based approach and uses FDA-approved drugs to ensure you get the most effective treatment.

Together, you and your psychiatrist develop a treatment plan for your mental health condition, including medication, talk therapy, and regular follow-ups to monitor your progress. While some people can overcome their mental health issue, some conditions are chronic, such as bipolar disorder, and require ongoing medical care and management.

No matter the mental health condition you suffer from, treatment is available to help you manage the condition and live a healthy, happy, productive life.

Your mental health requires the same attention as your physical health. To get expert psychiatry care to manage your emotional and mental health, call 2nd Chance today or request an appointment online.
