How does adult psychiatry work?

At Pro Health Psychiatry Nursing Corporation, your provider begins an adult psychiatry exam with a comprehensive evaluation that includes a detailed medical and psychological history, physical examination, and, when necessary, laboratory tests or imaging studies.

Your mental health professional then collaborates with you to develop a personalized treatment plan, which may include:

Medication management

Your provider may prescribe medications such as antidepressants, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, and anxiolytics to help manage symptoms and improve mental health.

Psychotherapy

Also known as talk therapy, psychotherapy involves structured sessions with your mental health professional to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Common forms include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic therapy.

Lifestyle and behavioral interventions

The team may recommend ways to support your diet, exercise routine, sleep habits, and stress management techniques to boost overall mental health.

Ongoing monitoring and adjustment

Regular follow-up appointments allow your practitioner to monitor your progress, adjust treatment plans, and address any emerging issues or side effects.
