Psychiatry is a branch of medicine that deals with the causation, prevention, and treatment of mental and behavioral health disorders. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor specializing in treating those disorders and is qualified to prescribe medications or develop a treatment plan for their patient.
Our Psychiatrists in Chico, Ca can treat people with conditions ranging from mild to moderate and even more severe mental health disorders like schizophrenia. A psychologist can also work alongside the psychiatrist when needed. The difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist is that a psychologist can not prescribe medication. Therefore, psychiatrists tend to look after patients with more severe mental or behavioral illness’. At Therapeutic Solutions in Chico, California, we work with our patients to better your mental and behavioral health.

Our telepsychiatry service includes a scheduled appointment through one of our on-call therapists entirely done through a remote option. Although our telepsychiatry service does not require any additional payment, it does require you to download the Zoom app on your device.
Admitting you need help with your mental or behavioral health illness is a big first step. You are putting yourself in a vulnerable position, but it is, without a doubt, a step in the right direction. There are a lot of things to look for when finding the right psychiatrist for you. Before doing any research of your own, the first thing you should do is ask your primary care physician if they have any recommendations. Do not be afraid to ask them as they might have colleagues in psychology and can provide referrals.
Whether you received referrals from your primary care physician or not, you can now do your research on psychiatrists. When researching psychiatrists, some things to look out for are board certification, medical school, and their experience. You want to make sure their credentials and experience align with what you are feeling, ensuring the best chance of getting better.
Other information to take into consideration is the comments and reviews from past patients. Looking at this information will allow you to get an idea of the psychiatrist and whether or not they are the right fit for you. Comments and reviews might include notions about their communication, experience, and or humility.
