Week 4 discussion response to classmates | Psychology homework help

Betty, your description of having mixed mood states leads me to believe we need to refer you to a psychiatrist for what is called a psychological evaluation. When a client shows signs of depression, anxiety, or mixed mood states such as yourself it is best to refer to a psychiatrist because through medical testing and assessments, they can help determine what is truly going on and help get you back on track (Sinacola, Peters-Strickland, & Wyner, 2020). As a counselor, diagnosing certain mental disorders and prescribing medications are outside of my scope of practice. However, you can still receive psychotherapy through collaborative behavioral healthcare, where you see both a psychiatrist for medication management and a therapist for counseling (Sinacola, Peters-Strickland, & Wyner, 2020). If medications are prescribed, they can allow you to have relief from your symptoms so you can benefit from the counseling experience. Research has shown that clients that receive psychotherapy along with medication for mental disorders are more likely to be successful with medication compliance and are less likely to have a recurrence of the mixed mood episodes you have been dealing with (Miklowitz, 2020). To make sure we give you the best care I would like to use a Release of Information (ROI) form and get your permission to give information to the psychiatrist and receive information back (Charters, 2003). I would also like to include your primary care physician (PCP) to ensure there are no adverse reactions and that what the psychiatrist prescribes will comply with any other medications you receive from your PCP. I can see that this is upsetting you, but you are not alone. It helps to include a family member or caregiver in the treatment plan to help you cope with this new way of managing everyday life; and I would need a ROI for that as well if you would like me or your psychiatrist to discuss your care and medications with whomever you designate (Charters, 2003). Also, joining a support group can help you understand what it is like to live this type of disorder and seeing that others share your type of symptoms can also normalize the experience for you.
