Question 1

What is the difference between psychiatry and therapy?

Accepted Answer

Therapy provides a safe space to discuss your thoughts and emotions. Therapists are trained mental health professionals who offer support but cannot prescribe medication. Psychiatry, on the other hand, involves medical doctors—psychiatrists—who can diagnose mental health issues and prescribe medication. Psychiatrists may also recommend therapy as part of your treatment.

Question 2

Why should I seek mental health support at Amaha?

Accepted Answer

You should seek mental health support at Amaha if you want to explore a concern in depth, have been struggling emotionally or mentally, are facing challenges at work or school, have a chronic illness, need personalized medication support, or want a second opinion on your mental health treatment.

Question 3

How long will therapy or psychiatry take to make me feel better?

Accepted Answer

The duration varies depending on your specific mental health concern. Some people may feel better after a few sessions, while others may need longer-term support over several sessions to see significant improvement.
