Psychiatry is a medical specialty focusing on diagnosing and treating mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders.
Treatment of Psychiatric Conditions
Depending on the psychiatric disorder, treatment can include enhancing mood and cognitive ability with various forms of psychotherapy. Talk therapy is often used. This type of therapy involves the therapist and patient discussing emotional behaviors and other factors in a constructive environment. Psychotherapy helps to control and manage symptoms and enhance a patient's mental health. Psychotherapy can include the individual patient, the patient's family, or group therapy.
