As mental health professionals, we have a deep understanding of the unique nature of individuals and their symptoms. Each person is unique, and every problem is distinct. Psychiatric treatments can be in various forms, and they all are “evidence-based”, meaning that they are backed by very stringent research that often takes years before being advised for the general public.
Medications
Pharmacological treatment is an essential part of your recovery and are an effective form of treatment helping you in alleviating your symptoms and conditions. There are times when these interventions may lead to adverse effects. These options are discussed with you in detail and will be commenced with your consent.
Psychological therapy
Psychological therapies are effective and evidence-based treatment interventions. It involves discussing and identifying areas of concern in your individual condition and learning skills and strategies to cope with problems.
There are multiple psychological therapies (e.g., cognitive behaviour therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, play therapy, interpersonal therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, supportive therapy and multiple others). Your psychologist will develop the most suitable psychological therapy for your needs and symptoms.
We encourage you to be an active participant in your therapy and provide feedback as necessary. These interventions aim to equip you with skills that you can use in your day-to-day life to prevent further symptoms in later life.
