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.

    Dr sims listened to me talk for 5 minutes then stoped me told me I have a bad attitude and need to go to the drug dependance center .I don’t use drugs. That was my only meeting other than the anxiety group I tried going for a year or more until Darrel Jackson told me to get over my mental illness and move on with my life . Let’s just say I will never go thru mental health again. About 7 years later I am finally on proper medication and am functional in my daily life.

    The clinic assigned me this doctor and I'm glad they did. She was a good listener, and gave me help with my medications which were complicated.

    I left the office in worse condition then when I arrived. This doctor is dangerous and should not be practicing. I hope the physician boards review the complaints about her.
