Psychiatry

Our psychiatrists can identify your condition both psychologically and medically, all with a deep regard for what you’re going through. You know what you’re experiencing is real. So do we. Finding relief starts with a precise mental-health diagnosis.

The psychiatric care team at AdventHealth starts with a full psychological evaluation, gathering details about your personal and family background, symptoms, thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns. Combined with medical and psychological tests, we can uncover a complete picture of your mental health — and help you take the next step to emotional wellness.

A diagnosis is a path to wellness. Many behavioral-health issues stem from chemical imbalances in the brain. Once we understand what’s wrong, we can care for you with the highest standard of care to get you back to feeling like you again. We offer behavioral health treatment for many psychiatric conditions, including:

• Addiction and Substance Abuse Disorders
• Adjustment Disorders
• Anxiety Disorders
• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
• Autism Spectrum Disorders
• Bipolar Disorders
• Depression
• Eating Disorders
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
• Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
• Postpartum Depression
• Psychiatric Aspects of Critically Ill, Cancer, and Transplant Patients

Along the way, your team of experienced psychiatrists and psychotherapists will support you with information about your condition and discuss the behavioral health services that are best for you. Understanding pain and imbalances in the brain is the first key to making things right. Our job is to open the door to a lifetime of wellness; your job is to walk through it.

When you think of treatments for behavioral conditions, chances are you think of talk therapy or psychotherapy. For many patients, psychotherapy can provide clarity and exceptional results. But when a chemical imbalance in your brain causes the discomfort, our expert psychiatrists are here to help steady you with life-changing medications and behavioral health treatments prescribed by our medically-certified team.

Mental health treatments may include any one or combination of the below:

• Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)
• Inpatient and Outpatient Treatments
• Medications, Including Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, Sedatives, Stimulants, and Mood Stabilizers
• Psychosocial Interventions
• Psychotherapy

Above all, we’ll work with you through each obstacle — and milestone — supporting you with whole-person care. Your journey out of depression and confusion isn’t one you have to walk alone. We'll walk beside you, making sure you have the care you need to guide you through.
