FAQ - Sports Performance Psychiatrists
Why might athletes seek psychiatric care?
Achieving peak performance in sports and managing the psychological demands of performing under pressure can lead many athletes to pursue mental health support as part of their overall training plan. Common mental challenges faced by competitive athletics include performance anxiety, fear of failure, and coping with injuries or setbacks. These psychological stressors can significantly impact both athletic performance and overall well-being. Psychiatrists can serve as valuable members of an athlete's care team to help address these mental health concerns that directly affect performance and an athlete's personal life. While athletes may see sports medicine doctors for physical injuries, many turn to psychiatrists for performance-related anxiety, depression following injuries or poor performance, eating disorders related to weight management, and other mental health conditions that can interfere with their athletic goals.

How do psychiatrists support athletes?
Psychiatrists who specialize in sports performance have a thorough understanding of the unique pressures of athletics, along with an understanding of the need for coordination between multiple professionals on an athlete's care team. In some cases, they may prescribe medications to manage symptoms of diagnosable mental health conditions like anxiety or depression, but they are also knowledgable about how these treatments might affect athletic performance, drug testing requirements, and training schedules. In many cases, they will also help athletes develop coping strategies to help manage performance-related stress, such as through behavioral therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or mindfulness-based practices.

How can I find a psychiatrist who specializes in sports performance?
The Psychology Today directory is a helpful tool to find psychiatrists who specialize in sports performance. Using its filters, clients can search for providers with relevant expertise in sports, or by specific conditions that may be of interest, such as anxiety. When meeting with potential psychiatrists, consider asking about their experience working with athletes specifically, their approach to counseling, and how they coordinate care with other professionals, such as psychologists and sports medicine doctors. It's also important to consider practical factors, such as whether appointments are offered in person or via telehealth and whether the provider accepts your insurance.
