Mental Health (Psychiatry)

Emotional and physical health are connected. If your body is exhausted, it will reflect mentally and vice verse. Just as regular physical health checks are recommended, it is also important to look after your mental health.

Psychiatrists or therapists are trained to help you talk through and learn to cope with stress, grief and emotional trauma that may affect your emotional well-being. Millions of Americans suffer with various types of mental illness and mental health problems, such as social anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, addiction to drugs and alcohol, and personality disorders. Mental illness and psychological disorders rely on options of medications, psychotherapy, or other treatments.

Co-occurring disorders, defined as dual diagnosis, is when you endure both a mental health disorder such as depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder and a drug or alcohol problem. Both issues have their own unique symptoms that may get in the way of your capacity to function, swallow life’s difficulties, and relate to society.

Further obscuring the dual circumstance, if a mental health problem goes untreated, the substance abuse problem usually gets worse. And when alcohol or drug abuse increases, mental health problems likely increase as well.
Psychotherapy, often known as 'talk therapy', can help people overcome emotional trauma by talking to therapists trained to intervene and help you confront problems and concerns that are causing you stress.

Talking about your thoughts and feelings with a supportive person makes you feel healthier. It can be very healing to express your uncertainties and talk about something that’s constantly weighing on your mind. Therapy is not limited in its tools. Various types of therapy include:

Individual therapy - Individual therapy explores negative thoughts and feelings, as well as the harmful or self-destructive behaviors that might accompany them. The primary focus is on making positive modifications present.

Family therapy - Family therapy implicates discussing conflicts with more than one member of the family at the same time to help improve interaction. It is often based on the principle that families are a team.
Group therapy- Group therapy is assisted by a professional therapist, and involves a group of peers at work on the same problem, such as anxiety, depression or substance abuse.

Psychotherapy is supportive in treating most mental health problems including: anxiety disorders (obsessive compulsive disorder, panic disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder), mood disorders (depression and bipolar), addictions (alcoholism, drug dependence or compulsive gambling), personality disorders (borderline personality or antisocial personality disorder).

Not everyone who benefits from psychotherapy is identified with a mental illness. Psychotherapy can also aid in a number of life's pressures and struggles that can affect anyone.

Finding a psychiatrist you trust could be the key to starting a new enriched life. To make the most of therapy, you need to put what you’re learning in your sessions into practice in your real life
