As the years pass, people become more open to the possibility of trying treatment. We can still see that in the Latino community there are stigmas of going to treatment that discourage us from trying to seek treatment. In this blog I want to share with you a little more about what going to therapy is all about and learn other concepts that may be useful for you on your way to building healthy mental health.
Professionals who can help us with mental health
First I want to share information about some experts who can help us have better mental health and be able to distinguish what they do. Many times people don’t know the difference or don’t know the different professionals that are available and can help us have better mental health.
Psychologist: Let’s start with the psychologist. In some countries a therapist may be referred to as a psychologist. In the United States, a psychologist is someone who can make assessments and study the human mind and behavior.
Psychiatrist: A psychiatrist is a doctor who specializes in mental disorders. A psychiatrist can prescribe medication to manage a mental illness such as anxiety, an eating disorder, or bipolar disorder.
