Psychiatrists, distinct from therapists, are medical doctors with specialized training in psychiatry. This enables them to prescribe medications for various disorders, including depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, and anxiety. They are also skilled in conducting psychiatric evaluations and managing the medical aspects of mental health conditions. On the other hand, therapists, including clinical psychologists, focus on providing therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, and often collaborate with psychiatrists to offer comprehensive patient care.
The timing of therapy or psychiatry sessions at Geode Health is personalized to each patient’s unique medical or mental health needs. Whether you’re a new patient or have ongoing needs, sessions can be scheduled weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, as determined by your specific treatment plan. Our mental health professionals, experienced in both adolescent and adult psychiatry, strive to recommend the most beneficial session frequency for effective treatment and care.
While psychologists typically hold doctorate degrees and specialize in talk therapy and psychological evaluations, they are not medical doctors. Their approach to treating mental illnesses primarily involves non-pharmacological methods like counseling and therapy. Psychiatrists, however, are medical doctors (MDs) who primarily focus on medication management for mental health issues, such as mood disorders and PTSD. They also have the capability to offer talk therapy and other supportive treatments, providing a more medically-oriented approach to patient care.
