FAQs:
- What is the difference between psychiatry and psychology?
Psychiatry is a medical speciality that can diagnose mental illness and prescribe medication, while psychology uses talk therapy (psychotherapy). - How is the evaluation carried out?
The psychiatrist conducts a clinical interview, analyses your medical history, current medication and symptoms. When necessary, they may order tests or refer you to a psychologist. - Is medication compulsory?
No. Treatment is always personalised; many cases can improve with psychological support or behavioural strategies alone. - Are online consultations effective?
Yes. Studies have shown similar efficacy to face-to-face consultations, as long as there is good communication and therapeutic continuity. - How often should I repeat the appointment?
It depends on the severity and clinical evolution; the usual interval is between 4 and 8 weeks.
