Psychiatric Care Services
Psychiatry is the branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. Psychiatric providers are qualified to assess both the mental and physical aspects of psychological problems. People seek psychiatric help for many reasons. The problems can be sudden, such as a panic attack, frightening hallucinations, thoughts of suicide, or hearing voices. Or they may be more long-term, such as overwhelming feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or anxiety that never seem to lift, or problems with mental functioning that make everyday life feel distorted or out of control.
Psychiatry Care in Southwest Colorado and the Western Slope
Psychiatric providers can order a full range of medical laboratory tests, which, combined with a thorough psychiatric evaluation, can help provide a picture of a patient’s physical and mental/emotional condition. They can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medications, and provide ongoing medication management. Our psychiatric providers work closely with our therapists to provide personalized treatment for each patient.
