Psychiatrists in Wheaton, IL, as medical doctors, have the unique ability to prescribe medication and manage the medical aspects of mental health conditions, a role not fulfilled by therapists. Their extensive training aids in addressing health issues related to mental well-being, including clinical psychology. Therapists, in contrast, focus on delivering a range of proven talk therapies and often partner with psychiatrists for complete patient care.
At Geode Health, the frequency of therapy or psychiatry sessions is customized to fit each individual’s unique requirements and life circumstances, from adolescent to adult patients. Appointments can be scheduled weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, adapting to your specific needs. Our mental health professionals specialize in devising a treatment plan that determines the optimal frequency of your sessions.
Many psychologists hold doctorate degrees in clinical psychology, yet they are not medical doctors. Their treatment of almost any mental health condition involves talk therapy and other non-medical techniques. Conversely, psychiatrists are medical doctors (MDs) who primarily use medication in treating mental health issues, along with providing talk therapy and other supplementary treatments, like cognitive behavioral therapy and counseling for disorders and mental health issues.
