PSYCHIATRY

Psychiatry is a medical specialty dedicated to monitoring and intervening in mental, emotional and behavioral disorders.

It acts to alleviate symptoms using psychopharmacology, an often essential component throughout the therapeutic process. Although there is still some fear and stigma towards psychiatric medication, nowadays these drugs are effective and safe. This intervention results in a decrease in psychological suffering and an increase in the quality of life of the person, facilitating their functional return in all areas of life.

In most cases, Psychiatry operates in articulation with Psychology to maximize results and for a more effective response to mental illness.
