What is Psychiatry?

Psychiatry is the branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. Administered by a trained and licensed medical professional, psychiatry involves the use of medication management and ongoing assessment to ensure you’re receiving the essential therapeutic benefits from your treatment.

A psychiatric provider at Associated Clinic of Psychology (ACP) will meet with you to determine whether medication is an appropriate tool to help you manage your individual symptoms. At ACP, your psychiatric provider will listen to your concerns, evaluate your condition, and recommend a proper course of treatment (i.e. medication). As research continues to show that medication management is most effective with therapy, your psychiatric provider may also recommend an experienced therapist to meet separately, in conjunction with your psychiatric treatment.
