Psychiatric Treatment
Psychiatric treatment involves the diagnosis and medical management of mental health disorders by a licensed psychiatrist. In post-injury care, psychiatric treatment supports clients coping with depression, anxiety, PTSD, mood disorders, and emotional dysregulation after a traumatic event.
When is Psychiatric Treatment specifically needed?
Patients may be referred for psychiatric treatment when symptoms are severe, complex, or resistant to therapy alone. These symptoms include:
-
Persistent or worsening depression or anxiety, intense sadness, fear, irritability, or emotional detachment,
-
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD),
-
Suicidal thoughts, emotional instability, extreme mood changes, intrusive thoughts, or paranoia,
-
Aggression, withdrawal, insomnia, substance misuse,
-
Co-existing mental health and chronic pain conditions,
-
Difficulty functioning at work, home, or in social roles,
-
Poor response to psychotherapy or counseling alone.
​
A psychiatrist brings a medical lens to mental health, helping stabilize patients so other treatments can succeed.
