BMH Psychiatry focuses on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders.

Psychiatrists are medical doctors who play a vital role in helping individuals manage a variety of behavioral conditions that affect quality of life and daily functioning. One of the primary reasons psychiatric care is important is its comprehensive approach to mental health treatment. Psychiatrists are uniquely qualified to provide a combination of therapy, medication management, and other medical interventions. They can evaluate the interplay between physical and mental health, ensuring that underlying medical conditions contributing to mental health issues are identified and treated. This holistic approach is essential for effective treatment and long-term management of mental health conditions.

“While I do feel the stigma has lessened for persons with mental illness, I certainly know it is still present and at times can prevent people from seeking treatment. I want people to know that the brain is an organ just like any other part of the body, just like a heart, lungs, or kidney. And sometimes, when a brain gets sick, it affects how people feel, how they think, and even sometimes what they see and hear. If someone had heart disease, they would not be judged for seeking treatment to help them get well. Having a mental illness is the same, and seeking treatment to become well or stay well is the same idea.”
