What is Psychiatry?

Psychiatry is a branch of medicine that deals with diagnosing, preventing, and treating problems with mental health. Psychiatrists are trained in both mental health and medicine, which means they can do full evaluations and provide long-term care that may include therapy. Our psychiatrists at Williamsburg Psychiatrist Group offer treatment for a wide range of psychiatric conditions including:

  • Mood disorders
  • Anxiety
  • Psychotic disorders
  • Personality disorders
  • Trauma-related disorders
  • Substance abuse
  • ADHD

What is Psychotropic Medication?

This is medication that can help you on your journey to healing. No single rule or guideline can help you determine whether you need to take psychotropic medication. Instead, you should make the decision with your psychiatrist. Together, you can talk about the pros and cons of each treatment option and come up with a plan that fits your needs. That said, some signs that you may benefit from taking psychotropic medication include:

  • Persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, or irritability that interfere with your ability to function daily.
  • Difficulty sleeping, eating, or focusing due to symptoms related to mental health conditions such as depression or anxiety.
  • A history of trauma or abuse that has led to mental health issues such as PTSD.
  • Use of alcohol or drugs to self-medicate symptoms related to a mental health condition.
  • A family history of mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder.
  • Strong urges to harm yourself or others that interfere with your ability to function.
