This past week in #loweclass #digital we took the next step in preparation for our upcoming project on mental health in Milwaukee. Meg Kissinger visited our class once again and assigned us to a person who works in mental health. Patrick and I have the opportunity to look at the role a psychiatrist has.
According to Aurora Health Care, psychiatrists are qualified mental health practicioners. They undergo four years of psychiatric training after medical school. Psychiatrists work alongside the patient to offer the best treatment available. These treatments may include prescribing drugs and practicing psychotherapy.
Aurora has several behavioral clinics and hospitals throughout Milwaukee County. Patients with mental health issues are able to visit these locations for treatment purposes. In addition, Aurora has a facility specifically for mental health. The Aurora Psychiatric Hospital is located in Wauwatosa, Wis. Open 24 hours a day, it provides patients with year round assistance.
The hospital houses some of the best staff including therapists, nurses and psychiatrists. Each of them work with patients to provide treatment though inpatient and outpatient care, and partial hospitalization.
Treatment remedies range depending on the severity of the person. Some may require medication, while others undergo therapy. Patients also have the opportunity to participate in research studies. No matter what the treatment is, psychiatrists are always alongside during the process.
I am interested in learning what psychiatrists believe the number one problem is in the mental health system. How they want to find a solution is another question I am curious to find an answer to.
