What is psychiatry?

Psychiatry focuses on the prevention and treatment of mental health disorders. As holistic providers, the Rubix Health team identifies all the factors affecting your mental, emotional, and behavioral health, including biochemical, neurological, physical, social, and environmental issues. 

What conditions does psychiatry treat?

The caring Rubix Health team offers psychiatric care to adults with life challenges and mental health conditions, such as:

• Depression
• Anxiety disorders
• Bipolar disorder
• Schizophrenia
• Eating disorders
• Personality disorders
• Substance use disorder (SUD)
• Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
• Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

Psychiatry also helps people dealing with stress, low self-esteem, and difficult life transitions. 

When should I seek psychiatric help?

Without treatment, mental health symptoms worsen and can have a devastating impact on your life.

A few signs you should consider scheduling a psychiatry consultation include:

• Feeling depressed, hopeless, or worthless
• Having difficulty concentrating
• Struggling with overwhelming anxiety
• Avoiding friends and social activities
• Having mood changes
• Feeling angry or having aggressive outbursts
• Finding it hard to sleep
• Hearing or seeing things that aren’t there
• Overusing alcohol or drugs

It’s time to seek help when these concerns don’t improve or worsen. 

What services does psychiatry offer?

Psychiatry traditionally involves two essential treatments, medication and psychotherapy (talk therapy), either alone or combined.

Medications restore optimal levels of brain chemicals (neurotransmitters). Talk therapy provides personalized support, helps patients gain insight, and teaches life skills and coping techniques.

The exceptional Rubix Health team takes treatment beyond expected conservative treatments. They specialize in advanced therapies such as:

• IV infusions (ketamine infusions)
• Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP)
• Neurofeedback
• Virtual reality therapy

The team also offers alternative therapies like Reiki healing and mindfulness meditation.

What happens during a psychiatry consultation?

During your first appointment, your Rubix Health provider learns about your problems and how they affect your daily life. They review your medical history, complete a psychiatric evaluation, determine your diagnosis, and work with you to create a treatment plan.

Depending on your symptoms, your provider may perform diagnostic testing to identify the underlying brain or neurological problem. Rubix Health has extensive experience in advanced diagnostics, including several types of electroencephalograms (EEGs) and tests to measure nerve function.

Call Rubix Health if you have questions about psychiatry or need help with a mental health concern. You can also request an in-office or telehealth appointment through online booking.
