Do Psychiatrists always prescribe medications? ?

Content: The only way I can control my anxiety is with my mind. I read some books and learned to control my stress, anxiety levels (etc). Medication does not help you.. it only makes you feel good when it kicks in... but what happens when it wears out or you stop taking it for a few days? My doctor told me that it would get worse. The only advice I have is to buy some books that gives you tips on how to deal with stress and anxiety. It worked for me - hopefully it'll work for you too. Good luck

Psychiatrists are medical doctors who believe that mental diseases are medical conditions that have a medical explanation and a medical cure. So they will most often prescribe medications because medications are the medical response to a disease. If your interested in other forms of therapy, you can ask about seeing a psychologist, or a therapist. They specialize in treating mental diseases without the use of medicine.
