Psychiatry consultation
Psychiatrists are doctors who specialize in the treatment of psychiatric disorders. They use two kind of treatments modalities to help their patients: medicinal products and/or psychoterapy.
You should see a psychiatrist when you are affected by severe depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and so on.
A psychiatry consultation lasts about an hour. The psychiatrist interviews the patient about his or her clinical history. Doing this the specialist can identify when patient’s mental disorders began. Also, he or she can know if the patient had already taken both medication and a course of therapy in the past.
As mentioned above, a psychiatrist deals with the treatment of mental disorders. For this reason, healthy people who are experiencing a difficult period (divorce, indecision on an important choise, change of job, and so on) should see a psychologist.
