Psychiatry allows people struggling to manage mental conditions or disorders to get access to medications that will make daily functioning easier, as well as work through any mental factors that might be causing or worsening their condition. Though medications can’t cure mental disorders, medication can make symptoms more manageable, making the process of psychotherapeutic treatment easier and more effective. Psychiatric care can be available through in-person psychiatry and online psychiatry, depending on where you live and your own preferences. However, psychiatric providers at Thriveworks in Hoffman Estates, IL specifically offer online psychiatry to their clients.
A therapist has an education specifically rooted in therapeutic practice, approaches, techniques, and treatment. They cannot prescribe medications for clients, though they often refer clients to psychiatrists for medication management. Psychiatrists are medically trained doctors who specialize in mental health treatment, mainly through medication management and prescription, though they can also practice therapy.
A Psychiatry Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a highly trained and licensed professional who specializes in mental health care. They are qualified to diagnose and treat mental health conditions, prescribe medications, and provide therapy. Psychiatric NPs at Thriveworks are qualified to prescribe medications for a variety of mental health conditions. They work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan.
Oftentimes, psychiatrists or psychiatric professionals will perform a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, which involves an in-depth discussion about your symptoms, medical history, and current medications. Once they reach a diagnosis, they may suggest starting certain medications depending on your condition and the intensity of your symptoms.
Yes. At Thriveworks, we offer online-only psychiatry services for optimal comfort and convenience.
Psychiatric services at Thriveworks Hoffman Estates can last for as little or as much time as the client needs to reach their treatment goals, whether that be a month or two or over the course of a year. Treatment length is heavily dependent on the condition(s) being treated, the course of treatment, and the client’s goals for treatment.
Psychiatrists are mental health professionals who can prescribe anxiety medication and provide therapeutic treatment for anxiety, although not all psychiatrists offer therapy. At Thriveworks, medication management occurs via online psychiatry sessions.

Psychiatrists and other psychiatric providers are extensively trained to diagnose, treat, and help prevent mild to severe mental health disorders classified as such in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). These disorders include anxiety disorders, personality disorders, bipolar disorders, and many more. Psychiatric mental health services might include prescribing medication, managing psychotropic medication, and doing evidence-based psychotherapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) can also prescribe medication.
The long-term course of treatment depends on client feedback and the psychiatrist’s clinical judgment. Treatment plans can adapt depending on responses over time. If a psychiatrist is incorporating prescription medications into treatment, then they will book regular follow-up appointments to monitor progress and side effects.
Many mental, physical, and behavioral changes can indicate the need for a psychiatric consultation. For example, sleep disturbances, appetite changes, and heightened or lowered energy levels can all be signs of something neurochemically amiss. If you think that you may have the symptoms of a mental health condition, make an appointment with an expert at Thriveworks in Hoffman Estates, IL. You could meet with your provider as early as this week if you call today.
