Local Psychiatrists and Therapists Working Together For Your Health

When used together, therapy and medication management are two powerful ways to provide symptom relief, get to the root of a mental health challenge, and promote long-term healing and growth. Lifebulb employs local psychiatrists to prescribe and manage medication, while our affordable therapists provide helpful talk therapy, support, and coping mechanisms. Most medication managers strongly recommend their clients participate in ongoing therapy services in addition to taking their prescribed mental health medication. Fortunately, both psychiatry and therapy are covered by most insurance companies, making both online psychiatry and therapy affordable. Whether you’re looking for medication management services or a mental healthcare therapist or counselor, Lifebulb can help.

Who Could Benefit from a Psychiatrist?

There’s no shame in taking mental health medication.

Talk therapy has proven highly effective in treating most mental health concerns, but medication is also a valuable resource for those struggling with depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and more. A good mental health psychiatrist will prescribe you medication that fits your needs, taking into account individual factors such as gender, age, symptoms, history, and mental health goals.

Benefit from a Psychiatrist

What is Mental Health Psychiatry?

A psychiatrist prescribes medication to alleviate negative symptoms of mental health issues and promote well-being. Medication management has been proven effective at treating many disorders such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, Bipolar, and more. Many people find the most benefit from receiving both local psychiatry-guided medication management and online therapy.

Both Psychiatrists and Psychologists can work in the mental health field. Both receive many years of training and education and must have an up-to-date license. However, only a Psychiatrist can prescribe and manage medication. A Psychologist may work with a client through other means of treatment, such as talk therapy, to promote healing and growth. If you are seeing a Psychiatrist for mental health medication, it is recommended you also see a Psychologist, therapist, or counselor for a comprehensive approach to your well-being.

Yes, the primary job of a mental health Psychiatrist is to prescribe medication for mental health. Psychiatrists have different education requirements than therapists including a more robust study of medication’s effect on the human brain and body. A local psychiatrist should also provide medication management and adjust the client’s mental health medication as needed.

Yes, a Psychiatrist can diagnose mental health disorders such as ADHD, Bipolar, Major Depression, General Anxiety Disorder, and many more. A therapist, psychologist, and counselor can also diagnose mental health disorders. If you are interested in receiving an official mental health diagnosis, reach out to our team.

Many people find healing through talk therapy alone, however, a local Psychiatrist can be helpful if you are struggling with severe mental illness, multiple diagnoses, or finding a type of therapy that works for you. Some mental illnesses are primarily caused by brain chemistry imbalances and human biology, in which medication management would be the best option.

Yes. Lifebulb will work with your Psychiatrist to manage medication, address symptoms, and promote long-term healing and recovery. If you need help finding a Psychiatrist, connect with one of our therapists and they can provide a referral. We also employ an in-house Psychiatrist who can meet your needs.

A Psychiatrist diagnoses and treats mental health disorders through medication management. Unlike a therapist, counselor, or psychologist, a Psychiatrist usually does not provide talk therapy, which is why it’s also important to be seen by a therapist near you.

Whether a psychiatrist and their medication management will be helpful for you is a case-by-case basis. Most often, psychiatry is used to treat mental illnesses that aren’t getting better with therapy, are very severe, or make it difficult to function in day-to-day life. It is also used to treat disorders that occur at the same time, such as Anxiety and ADHD or Substance Use and Depression, which can be hard to treat with talk therapy alone.
