Psychiatry vs therapy — what’s the difference?

Psychiatry focuses on diagnosis + medication  (including medication management) — Psychiatrists, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners are medical specialists who can diagnose and treat mental illnesses. They can also prescribe and manage medications.

Therapy focuses on talk + behavior change — Therapy in Illinois can help you work through stress, anxiety, and life changes with a licensed therapist over time.

Best results often come from both — A lot of people benefit from both psychiatry (medication) and therapy (ongoing help) to get the best results.

Not sure which service you need? You can register for psychiatry, therapy, or both, and a clinical intake specialist will assist you in finding the right Illinois provider.
