Why See a Psychiatrist?

There are several different types of mental health professionals out there. Therefore, you may be unsure where to turn when you need help addressing behavioral and mood-based symptoms. Psychiatrists are MDs who specialize in mental healthcare. You may also see a psychiatrist for therapy. Alternatively, you might visit a licensed counselor or therapist for talk therapy. These professionals typically have a Master’s level education or higher, and they may specialize in a wide range of different mental health niches, such as adolescent therapy or addiction recovery.

Psychiatrists like Dr. Julia DiPierdomenico are mental health professionals who can both prescribe medication and provide therapy. Additionally, psychiatrists can order blood tests to rule out physical causes for behavioral symptoms and changes in mood. However, there are not blood tests that can diagnose mental health disorders, such as schizophrenia or depression. Therefore, it can take time to accurately formulate a diagnosis and develop a treatment plan.

In Dr. DiPierdomenico’s Tucson psychiatry practice, patients will play an active role in their care. Dr. DiPierdomenico works closely with each patient to determine the environmental and personal factors that contribute to their mental health. By taking a full scope of her patients’ personal, family, and health histories, she is able to better connect with patients and develop a successful treatment plan.
