Mental health is fundamental to overall health and productivity. It is said to be the basis for successful contributions of family, community and society. A mental health problem is a real
and disabling condition that is experienced by 1 in 5 Americans, that left untreated, can lead to disability and despair for individuals, families, schools, communities and the workplace.
Psychiatrists understand the complex relationship between emotional and medical illness and is therefore the mental health professional and physician qualified to distinguish between physical and
psychological causes of both mental health and physical distress.
Your psychiatrist can order a full range of medical tests that provide a complete picture of a patients' physical and mental state leading to a diagnosis and the development of
a comprehensive treatment plan. Using a wide range of biological, psychotherapeutic and psychosocial treatments, your psychiatrist will tailor services to your individual
need.
When working with your psychiatrist, some of the treatment will be focused on medication management and/or specific modalities of psychotherapy which are research based for the specific
disorder.
At the Institute, we treat our patients with the latest clinical interventions and work cohesively as a team to formulate a plan that may best meet your needs. Our psychiatrist is
board certified and versed in the most recent and effective psychopharmacological and psychiatric treatments, maintaining this knowledge through consistent attendance at conferences
where current practices and research based treatments are presented and discussed.
