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. Martin is exceptional at identifying issues, and working alongside patients to figure out appropriate courses of action. He is exceptionally astute overall. As far as "bedside manner" he is friendly and unjudgemental while remaining objective in his assessments. After years of testing the wrong medication after being misdiagnosed, Dr. Martin quickly identified my condition. From there he actively worked with me to prescribe and monitor the appropriate medication. My life has changed drastically and positively because of Dr. Martin. Moreover, he works with everyday coping strategies and he genuinely cares about his patients. He is the best doctor I have ever had.

    Dr. Martin changed my life. He quickly realized that I had been misdiagnosed as bipolar and diagnosed my ADHD. He is inquisitive and genuinely caring and warm, not to mention well educated and clearly very good at his job. Since seeing Dr, Martin in November 2018 I went from someone struggling with employment or completing tasks, prone to emotional outbursts, immature, constantly overwhelmed, unable to sleep many nights to a full time student who is at the top of the class, who can sleep, and anxiety and emotions are much more controlled. I feel as if I've matured 15 years in only two years. I don't think a better psychiatrist exists on this planet.
