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.

    People best take accountability for their own health. You should be your own advocate and listen to Dr. Wiggers. Take notes on your stability, anything that triggers you. Get exercise, eat properly, get rest and stay away from stressors.

    Dr.wiggers please contact me Jayden Laird either email or phone you have both on file what has happened is ridiculously unfair and how I’ve been treated is as well when we chatted through video chat you had finally regained my trust in the health system by setting me up with a prescription and doctors not to go back to work however once the chat was done nothing was sent off haven’t got my prescription wasn’t faxed over the doctors note written wich I had to go back for 4 days in a row back to back to get it didn’t have enough info so I told the office workers how important it was and strapped by 3 or more times a week and called everyday just to have you on the very last day knowing I was losing. My license the next day if I didn’t have the note you said you weren’t qualified on a sticky note and gave it to an office person to give to me so now I just lost my job , lost my license and to really let it sink in all this happened was because I went for help got the appropriate help you even said the situation that they went far too extreme and there’s no mental health or substance abuse disorder ?
