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.

    I agree with the comment about this Dr. having too many of her own issues to be a good psychiatrist. Seeing her was not only a waste of time but it was also an abusive experience. When you're in pain and come to someone for help, having them treat you with cold indifference is like having them put salt in the wound.

    I saw dr Chapman years ago, she is fair as long you are being honest. Trashing your doctor isn’t going help your situation.

    Dr. Chapman was sought as I have complex post traumatic stress disorder in part due to childhood rape by my religious father and other family members. Laura wanted further opinion and of all the people she could have chose she picked Dr. Yang, a self richeous male who determined my marijuana use required addiction treatment in a 12 step religious based pragram. Neither professional put any care or thought toward my concerns or beliefs. Had they concern Dr. Chapman would have made referral to a female specialist and Dr. Yang would have made referral to Smart Therapy or a non religious based support. Seems again I didn't have value, any say or support for treatment. All in all a colossal waste of time and money.
