While working his desk job, he finds himself zoned out, fidgeting with things around him, and jumping from one uncompleted task to the next.
His performance is being affected by his thoughts and he’s worried about getting reprimanded by his boss.

Now he’s getting the help and support he needs to thrive.

What Do Psychiatrists Do? Can They Help Me?
You might be wondering what psychiatrists can do for you. Psychiatrists are mental health professionals and medical doctors who have medical training in psychiatry, or the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders. Oftentimes, these mental health problems stem from mood disorders, unusual behaviors, and more.
A board certified psychiatrist at Thriveworks in Dallas is trained to treat mental disorders such as:
- Depressive disorders, like major depression, bipolar disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, and minor depression
- Borderline personality disorder and other personality disorders
- Anxiety disorders, such as panic disorder, general anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and obsessive compulsive disorder
- Trauma
- Substance abuse disorder and addiction
- Learning disabilities, like the autism spectrum disorder
- Eating disorders, like anorexia and bulimia
Some psychiatrists also receive further training in more focused areas of psychiatry, including addiction psychiatry, geriatric psychiatry, and forensic psychiatry. These professionals often use medication to help their clients but can also utilize psychotherapy, cognitive behavior therapy, psychological tests, and other mental health services.
Can Psychiatric Medication Help Me?
Some people may feel nervous or hesitant when the topic of psychiatric medication is discussed. Sometimes it’s assumed that only the most severe cases could benefit from a prescription. However, that’s not the case. Both mild and severe symptoms can be improved with medication.
If you and your psychiatrist decide that you are a good fit for a mood stabilizer, antidepressant, or other psychiatric medication, you will begin medication management. Medication management ensures that you take the correct dosage, take your medicines at the right time of day, and with or without food.
Before starting anything new, be sure to disclose any necessary medical history, allergies, and current medication you might be on. Should you have any questions or think you might need to switch your prescription, reach out to your provider and they’ll guide you through the next steps to take.
