What to Expect in Psychiatric Treatment
Your psychiatric treatment program is designed specifically for your diagnosis and long-term goals. Depending upon your condition, your treatment plan may include psychotherapy (talk therapy), medication management, or both. A psychiatrist will manage your medication and may also provide psychotherapy. More commonly, you will see a separate therapist or counselor who specializes in traditional therapies.
If your treatment plan includes medication management, your psychiatrist or another clinical professional will monitor the dosage of your prescribed medications and schedule regular check-ins to discuss changes in your symptoms and any side effects you may be experiencing.
