 Is There a Stigma to Receiving Mental Health Care?
Often a fear of being labeled comes with a psychiatric disorder. Just as individuals become physically ill, they may experience emotional and mental problems. Many problems can be completely overcome and symptoms can almost always be improved with treatment. After experiencing improvements, many people feel good about telling others about their problem and how they were helped.
What Kind of Treatment is Offered?
Treatment teams discuss various approaches and develop a plan that may involve various therapy techniques. Treatment plans are individualized to account for your identified personality problems as well as strengths.
What if a Physical Problem is Causing the Symptoms?
As doctors, psychiatrists are trained to recognize physical disorders that may be affecting how people feel, think and behave. They also consider how emotional problems may influence physical health.
How Long Does Psychiatric Treatment Usually Take?
Some problems can be addressed with short-term treatment. Complicated disorders may require a longer term of treatment, and chronic disorders may need continuing care.
Will Information and Treatment Be Confidential?
Federal and state laws protect the confidentiality of communication between patients and doctors. Your care will not be discussed with others without consent except as required by law.
