A Psychiatrist is going to take a look at the bio-medical reason behind any mental distress and try to determine the best medication for the patient.

Explanation:

A psychiatrist is an MD, they are going to take more of a biomedical model in their treatment. Their focus is probably going to be on the physiology of your distress and their treatment is going to be primarily about prescribing or finding the right medication for you.

1

A psychologist is going to spend more time talking to the patient about feelings, thoughts and other life factors that may be causing them distress.

Explanation:

A psychologist, on the other hand, their focus is on talk therapy; helping you figure out what sort of thoughts and feelings are causing you distress, what kinds of behaviors are not working for you and help you find new ways of coping and going forward differently.

2

A family physician does not deal with mental health issues.

Explanation:

While a family physician may refer you to a psychologist or psychiatrist, they can help support patients with mental health issues.

3

There are mental health benefits to exercise.

Explanation:

Studies show that exercise may help reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression. Exercise releases powerful chemicals such as endorphins and serotonin, which improve mood and feelings of well-being. It can lower cortisol (also called the “stress hormone”) levels and improve your sleep.

4

There is no link between obesity and mental health issues.

Explanation:

Studies have found that a disproportionate number of patients with mental illnesses such as anxiety and depression are obese compared to the general population. This may be due to a negative self-image, the social stigma of being obese and physical inactivity.

    Action Plan
    Dr Lohrasbe has been my Dr for almost five years and she told me in our first meeting that she would b hard on me sometimes but, that she wanted me to feel I could use her as a sort of touchstone. She was very tough on me! There were times I wanted to quit but I would eventually discuss my concerns and she would tell me why she was doing what she was doing. I She is very careful at diagnosing and she takes the time to make sure your medications are perfect. (With me that took forever as I seem to be sensitive or allergic to every mood stabilizer out there). For years I was diagnosed with chronic depression and medications would suddenly stop working so my previous Drs would up the dosage until it seemed to work. Dr. Lohrasbe took the time to poke deeper and eventually diagnosed me with PTSD due to childhood trauma OCD, Anxiety and BiPolar II. She then set up a treatment plan that included dietary guidelines and bedtimes, CBT, group therapy, research and homework. She is tough but fair and excruciatingly diligent when it come to your mental wellness. The Dr who referred me to her said she had a terrible bedside manner but was a genius with the brain chemical side of things. That may be true, but, I would not have her any other way. She has indeed become my Touchstone.
