Disordered Eating Behaviors: Identify and Treat the Underlying Trauma – Lori Kucharski

SalePage : Disordered Eating Behaviors: Identify and Treat the Underlying Trauma – Lori Kucharski

Because of the subjective nature of the field, psychiatry is one of the most difficult areas in medicine. We have no objective evidence to base our treatment decisions on as professionals.

In terms of therapies, psychopharmacology and psychotherapy are our greatest alternatives, and therapy is only successful if the patient is dedicated to attending every session, completing their homework, and making the required life adjustments to enhance their mental health. Prescription may be quite beneficial in terms of treating mental health problems; however, selecting the proper medication and/or combination of medications is critical to getting positive results. As a result of the psychiatry shortage, doctors in other specialities are being asked to treat mental health patients, which might pose additional issues.

This video will provide you with a vital update on the various types of psychiatric drugs, as well as a greater knowledge of how these medications function on their individual neurotransmitters and how they interact with one another. It is unusual for a mental health patient to be on only one medicine, as a mix of medications is frequently needed to achieve the appropriate level of recovery.

You will be able to select successful pharmaceutical regimens for patients based on their psychiatric history and presenting symptoms after completing this course, eventually contributing to quality of life improvements in individuals with mental health issues.
