Columbia MO Psychiatrist 

Sometimes it’s necessary to speak with a professional about your mental health, a problem in your life, or a related topic. For instance, you may need a professional’s help if you’ve had a death in the family and are having trouble coping. There might be another matter you need help with like regular sadness or a phobia. A professional can help to address these matters and empower you to address them better too, and sometimes a professional’s assistance is necessary, like with a mental health disorder. A psychiatrist is especially qualified to help with such matters.

Our psychiatrist at Success Health System LLC can help with:

• Depression
• Relationship/family problems
• Anxiety disorders like OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) and others
• Bipolar disorder
• A problem with substance use/abuse
• Trouble coping with a recent event like a death in the family
• Feelings of guilt, social isolation, hopelessness, helplessness, worthlessness, etc.
• Phobias
• And other issues

Also, our psychiatrist can provide services like diagnoses, medication management, cognitive behavioral therapy, and much more.

The two professionals are quite similar, but with different qualifications and capabilities. A psychiatrist is board-certified and an MD who is able to prescribe medication when necessary and provide very high-level mental healthcare like psychotherapy. A psychologist has only a Ph.D. or PsyD degree and typically cannot prescribe medication.

Also, a psychologist may be able to provide psychotherapy, but it will be focused on behavior, as opposed to the psychotherapy a psychiatrist does which takes into account behavior, psychosocial history, neurochemistry, biology, and other factors. Additionally, a psychiatrist is able to determine whether a patient with depression may have an underlying condition causing it like hypothyroidism.

In general, a psychiatrist is able to provide a higher level of therapy.

Typically, patients need a referral from a physician in order to see a psychiatrist, so you could speak with your primary care physician about getting a referral. Health insurers typically need a referral so they can cover the costs of psychological treatment. Success Health System LLC works with most major insurers and offers very affordable services.

Take your first step today and reach out to your doctor or our clinic for help. You don’t have to take care of your problems and mental health on your own, and you’ll almost certainly benefit from speaking with our psychiatrist.
