Mental health includes our emotional, psychological and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others and make healthy choices. Mental and physical health are equally important components of our overall health. For example, depression increases the risk for many types of physical health problems, particularly long-lasting conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. I believe mental health is a lifestyle and place emphasis on healthy habits, wellness and self-care to optimize the best version of ourselves.

FAQ - Psychosis Psychiatrists
How can psychiatrists help with psychosis?
Psychosis refers to the loss of contact with reality and is characterized by hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking or behavior. Many individuals also experience social withdrawal and decreased motivation or goal-directed behavior. Psychosis itself is not a diagnosis, but rather a symptom of other mental health conditions, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. It can also be caused by certain substances, such as hallucinogens, certain medical conditions, or extreme traumatic experiences. Based on this underlying cause, the severity and length of symptoms can vary significantly. While substance and medically-induced psychosis can resolve in a matter of hours to days, mental health conditions like schizophrenia can last throughout an individual's life. However, there are effective treatments for psychosis, and psychiatrists knowledgeable about the treatment of psychosis can play an important role in supporting patients to manage symptoms and live a full life.

What does psychiatric treatment for psychosis involve?
Psychiatric treatment for psychosis typically begins with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to identify the potential cause of the symptoms and inform a treatment plan. Antipsychotic medications, such are the most common form of treatment for managing psychotic symptoms, but the specific type of medication and dosage can vary based on the cause and type of symptoms a patient is experiencing. In addition to medication, effective psychiatric care often includes psychosocial interventions such as individual therapy, psychoeducation, and social supports. If psychotic symptoms become severe or begin to impact a patient's safety, psychiatrists may recommend a higher level of care, such as inpatient hospitalization or an intensive outpatient program (IOP).

How can I find a psychiatrist who specializes in psychosis?
Because psychosis can have many underlying causes, it is important to work with a psychiatrist experienced in differential diagnosis and psychotic symptom management. The Psychology Today provider directory allows individuals to search for psychiatrists who specialize in treating psychosis and related conditions, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. Filters can also be used to identify providers who meet specific cultural, religious, or gender preferences. When evaluating providers, ask about their experience with psychosis, co-occurring conditions, and their approach to both medication and supportive care. Practical factors such as insurance acceptance and appointment availability are also important to consider when finding the right therapeutic fit.
