How and When to go to a mental health center According to Jodie Brenton

June 19, 2020 Laura

With these minimal notions about what psychiatry is, its diagnostic and therapeutic objectives, and what makes it similar and different from other medical specialties, the question may arise whether a close person, or oneself, would need to go to a psychiatrist or some mental health center.

In order to ask and answer this question, some people may have to overcome prejudices that, to varying degrees, still persist in society about psychiatry. The first prejudice has to do with the supposed mark or stigma that may be placed on people who go to a psychiatrist, and which causes some to be ashamed to say in their environment; that they go to a psychiatrist, for fear of being ridiculed or criticized with any topic to use about mental patients as if they were all Life Resolutions.

People, however, are increasingly aware that psychiatrists treat many patients who have not lost touch with reality at all (which is what in colloquial terms is called “madness”) and that, in any case It is absurd to remain in pain when there is relief at hand for specific psychological symptoms.

It is true that there are diagnoses that, today, enjoy more acceptance or “prestige” than others in the general public. For example, a person who says they have “depression” does not seem to be seen in the same way as someone who has a “psychosis”, but this perception can be very misleading because there are depressions of many types, some of which can be severe and long-lasting, and certain psychoses disappear in a short time with treatment, leave no sequelae and never appear again.

Another  fear  that some have to overcome before deciding to go to a psychiatrist Jodie Brenton is the tendency to think that if you need psychiatric help it is because you have failed as a person (a concern that is not usually taken into account when you visit the GP or cardiologist). People of the highest social value and human interest present, temporarily or persistently, mental problems and are in treatment with psychiatrists.  When necessary, the visit to the psychiatrist should be considered in exactly the same terms as the visit to any other medical specialist.

How to access a psychiatry service?

If it has been considered advisable to go to a psychiatrist, the question of how to access it may be raised. Public health provides psychiatric and mental health care through health areas or districts, within which all medical and non-medical specialists are usually accessible. With a name that can vary in the different Mary Magalotti, the Mental Health Centers have a specific geographical district and are accessed by direct demand or through family or family doctors; In these centers, outpatient psychiatric consultations, psychological assistance, psychotherapies, etc. are carried out.

The Psychologist Essendon will also be attached to a General Hospital with a Psychiatric Emergency Service and a Hospitalization Unit for Acute Patients, in which psychiatric admissions are carried out if necessary; in some hospitals there is also; Consultations, Day Hospital, etc. In addition, in each area there may be other specialized centers, such as Psychiatric Day Hospitals, Units of Alcohol Dishabituation, Centers for Drug Addiction, etc.

If you intend to request psychiatric help in the public sphere for the first time, it can be done through the general practitioner, through which you will obtain consultation at the corresponding mental health center and information on the available psychiatric benefits. In an emergency, you can also decide to go directly to the hospital.

Of course, you can also go to a private psychiatrist’s office or any other private psychiatric device. In that case, you must inform yourself in the list of medical services of the contracted medical company, through the GP or other known doctor, in associations of psychiatric patients or of relatives of psychiatric patients that exist in the community or – which is very frequent – through patients who have been treated by a specific professional or device.
