Psychiatry and other types of counseling,  such as psychotherapy, can be crucial to patients and their quality of life and wellbeing.

It may be daunting at first to learn about psychiatry and how it can benefit you or a loved one, but it is often a key aspect of effective treatments which Luminous Vitality Behavioral Health provides patients.

What is Psychopharmacology

Essentially, psychopharmacology is another word for psychiatry and the deep level of understanding the psychiatrists have regarding medications, symptoms of mental illnesses, and proper medication management.

A psychopharmacologist will often offer services that cover these key areas and will also be able to diagnose a mental illness in their patient. This deep understanding of medications and therapy tools takes many years of education and several years of training to achieve.

Psychiatric care often involves different treatment types from a variety of providers who can work together. There are many options in Worcester County and the Greater Boston Area for excellent psychological and mental health help.

Luminous Vitality Behavioral Health's psychiatry professional, Dr. Lee will work with patients to treat them in the best way possible and improve the quality of their lives.

How Mental Health Professionals Can Help You

Psychopharmacologists in Worcester County can provide psychiatric care for new patients across a wide variety of mental health issues and help offer referrals for other services such as family therapy, child and adolescent psychologists, or a therapist.

Improving mental health can be a complicated process and therefore additional psychiatric care, such as careful medication management, may be required.

At Luminous Vitality Behavioral Health, we offer different types of therapy and each can help our patients and have a positive impact on their families and children.

Consider some of the following types of therapy that have worked for many clients and patients.

• Behavioral therapy - many therapists focus on patients' behavior that can be affected by different types of mental disorders, such as anxiety disorders, depression, or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). These disorders can affect relationships with families, children, and other adults such as co-workers. Behavioral therapy can help patients voice their concerns and worries and find solutions.
• Talk therapy - this is a very common type of therapy for patients who are committed to understanding where some of their mental health struggles might come from. Often, talk therapy can center on the patient's life as a child and where underlying anxiety or depression originates. Psychiatrists or psychologists may offer this type of therapy practice.
• Additional coping mechanisms -  there are other types of coping mechanisms that can improve the quality of patients' life alongside the use of medication and other professional treatment. A board-certified psychiatrist will often encourage their patient to consider the practice of things like breathing exercises or meditation to center themselves and work toward minimizing symptoms.

Improving Your Mental Health

When you are committed to improving the quality of your life and to finding the right treatment or medication, it can be difficult to know where to start. Reach out to Luminous Vitality Behavioral Health, which can be a great first step. We combine counseling with medication and a more thorough treatment plan.

Those with families may seek a combination of therapy for adults as well as for children so that everyone can work toward better mental health.

Dr. Lee, a board-certified psychiatry professional, will be able to identify what mental illness our patient is suffering from and provide treatment options, including being able to prescribe medication and following this with medication management.

This may be done with the assistance of a general doctor or nurse practitioner who can also monitor the treatment. Great results may be achieved through psychiatry, especially when it is in combination with counseling or psychotherapy.

Bear in mind that not every psychiatrist or counseling provider has services for family therapy, adolescent or children therapy.  However, for adults, there are some excellent options that center around your own level of comfort and lifestyle needs, and your insurance provider may be able to assist with costs.

Choosing Telepsychiatric Care

You may not be familiar with telepsychiatry, but it is a wonderful option for many clients, including those who may be too busy for visits to the office or who have limited capacity for an in-person appointment either due to family needs or those who are limited by their mental health.

Dr. Lee provides telepsychiatry throughout the state. These services take place over a secure and encrypted video platform, allowing face-to-face interaction without the need for an in-person visit.

Research has made it clear that professionals providing remote psychiatry, psychotherapy, or counseling are just as effective in delivering treatment services. These services, including medication management and psychiatric treatment, can be for all ages and still have a positive and productive impact on a patient and their family.

It is always helpful to check first with your insurance provider to know what services are available to you. Some insurance providers may be able to cover a portion of the costs for psychiatric or psychotherapy services.
