What psychiatric care is?
Psychiatric care focuses on diagnosing and treating mental health conditions with safe, evidence-based medications and practical education. It can help reduce symptom intensity, improve daily functioning, and support the progress you are making in therapy. Care includes assessment, a clear treatment plan, and regular follow ups to track progress and make adjustments.
