Psychiatry is an area of medicine involving the study, diagnosis, and treatment of mental health disorders, and Dubai, like the rest of the world, is seeing a rise in mental health issues, especially in the post-Covid-19 era. Top Psychiatry in Dubai is a medical branch that deals with the clinical methodology of diagnosing and treating mental problems and yet very little are known about it. Even today, patients depend on Google to look for ‘psychiatry near me’ and do not understand whether the psychiatrist is right for them. Remember, unlike any physical ailment which can be cured by medicine, psychiatry requires a more emotional connection to help the patient overcome the turmoil.
First things first, when should you think of visiting a psychiatrist?
So, what does a good psychiatrist need to know?
If you are looking for a psychiatrist in Dubai, here is a quick checklist. First and foremost, a good psychiatrist first establishes a good personal connection with the patient & makes them feel secure and comfortable. He/she then goes on to assess all of the mental and physical symptoms. Post diagnosis, the patient is taken through in detail over a management plan for your treatment and recovery.
A psychiatrist should also be equipped to:
What treatments can a psychiatrist provide?
The four main categories of medications used to treat mental health disorders are antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, antipsychotic medications, and mood-stabilizing medications. The same would depend upon the type of mental health issues being faced by the patient.
In psychotherapy, Therapists primarily act as a sounding board and neutral mediator, helping you learn coping techniques and strategies to manage symptoms.
Hospital and residential treatment
Some people may need brief periods of intensive treatment at hospitals or residential treatment facilities. You can choose between programs that allow an overnight stay for in-depth treatment or daytime programs, where people can participate in shorter periods of treatment.
Alternative treatments can be used in addition to mainstream treatments as a supplement. These steps won’t eliminate mental health issues alone, but they can be helpful.
They include sticking to your treatment plan as closely as possible, avoiding alcohol and drugs, and adopting a healthy lifestyle that incorporates foods that may be a benefit to your brain.
The term therapy refers to several styles of talk therapy. Therapy can be used to treat a variety of disorders, including panic disorders, anxiety, depression, anger issues, bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Key questions to ask your psychiatrist:
Remember, it’s up to you whether you agree to have the treatment as it requires 100% commitment from the patient.
