How Does Psychiatry Work?
The Process At A Better Day Psych
Initiating psychiatric care will always begin with a comprehensive mental health evaluation that is typically 1 hour in length. Even if you are already on a medication, your provider will still need to do a full work up to be sure they understand everything that is going on and to provide their feedback and treatment approach suggestions. Before the appointment, you will be given intake forms to fill out and return to help our providers understand the reason for the visit prior to seeing you for your appointment.
- Convenient: no need for you to travel to and from an office or clinic.
- Accessible: no matter where you live, a doctor can connect with you.
- Comforting: some people are more comfortable talking to a provider about sensitive topics from the familiarity and comfort of their home.
Follow-up Care: Medication Management and Therapy
Following the evaluation, you may not opt to proceed with medication management or therapy. However, if medication is prescribed, regular monitoring and follow-up are crucial aspects of medication management. In these subsequent sessions, your healthcare provider will assess the medication’s efficacy, inquire about any potential side effects, adjust dosages as needed, and address any concerns or questions you may have. Appointments are typically 15-30 minutes depending on the complexity.
Most people typically benefit from a multi-faceted mental health approach, which includes therapy. We offer individual therapy, family therapy, and more specialized therapies.
