What Is Psychiatry?
Psychiatry focuses on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental, emotional and behavioral disorders. Our expert psychiatrists prescribe medications to treat mental health conditions and evaluate your physical health to determine how to best support your well-being.

Psychiatric Services for Mental and Emotional Wellness
- Getting to a Diagnosis
-
You know what you’re experiencing is real. So do we. Finding relief starts with a precise mental health diagnosis. Our psychiatrists can identify your condition both psychologically and medically, all with a deep regard for what you’re going through.
Our 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 toward emotional wellness.
- Mental Health Treatments
-
When you think of treatments for behavioral conditions, you may envision talk therapy or psychotherapy. For many patients, psychotherapy can provide clarity and exceptional results. But when a chemical imbalance in your brain causes 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 a combination of solutions like:
- 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 mental health journey 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.
