The treatment by a clinical psychologist begins the moment a patient accepts his/her problem. More often than not, people who have psychological problems deny the existence of the same and avoid medications leading to worsening of the mental state. The treatment involves psychotherapy to work on emotional and behavioral aspects of an individual.
Common treatment for psychological disorders include:
- Talk therapy in solo or group
- Antidepressant medications to improve moods
- Behavioral therapy to work on thought patterns and behavior
- Antianxiety medications
- Mood-stabilizing medications
- Psychodynamic therapy to work on discovering and understanding past issues and their relationship to current thoughts and behaviors
