Introduction

A mental health professional is a health care provider or a provider of social and human services who provides services to improve an individual's mental health or treat mental diseases. This wide category was created to describe community members who worked in the new community mental health services that sprung up in the 1970s to help people transition out of state hospitals, prevent admissions and give assistance in their homes, jobs, schools and communities. Supported housing, psychiatric rehabilitation, supported or transitional employment, sheltered workshops, supported education, daily living skills, affirmative industries, dual diagnosis treatment, individual and family psychoeducation, adult day care, foster care, family services and mental health counselling were all developed by this group.

Discription

Psychiatrists, who treat mental health disorders using a biological basis, can prescribe medication. Counselors are office-based professionals that provide therapy sessions to their clients and are employed by organisations such as pastoral counselling (which may or may not work with long-term clients) and family counselling. Counselors working in the subject of mental health in community programmes may be referred to as mental health counsellors. Many different sorts of mental health specialists can assist you in achieving your recovery objectives. Outpatient facilities, such as community mental health clinics, schools and private practises, employ these workers as well as inpatient facilities, such as general hospitals and psychiatric facilities. The occupational titles and specialities of health care professionals differ by state. Understanding the many areas of knowledge and training makes it simpler to choose the suitable specialist. The NAMI helpline helps point you in the right direction for local mental health specialists and services. We are unable to provide specific recommendations to individual providers since we cannot comment on the quality of their service [1,2].

People who are suffering from mental illnesses should think about what form of treatment will be most effective. Psychotherapy is a frequent treatment option for a variety of ailments, including depression and anxiety. Psychotherapists and psychiatrists are two types of licenced psychotherapists. Psychotherapy is now widely available over the internet. These digital methods use video conferencing software or other platforms to offer therapy. They are simple and accessible methods to get immediate mental health help. Many people also use antidepressants and other drugs to aid with mental health issues. These drugs might be prescribed by a family doctor or a psychiatrist.

Counseling is an option for those who are dealing with specific challenges and need assistance. Counseling, for example, can assist couples with marital issues that are harming their mental health. Many counselling services may now be found on the internet. Talkspace and better help, for example, both provide online counselling, psychotherapy, or both. A psychologist can assess an individual's mental health. Interviews and testing are used to make a diagnosis. These specialists also lead treatment sessions, both one-on-one and in groups. Psychologists must have a doctorate and be licenced in the state in which they work. Psychologists cannot normally prescribe drugs, however this differs by state. Prescribers must complete further training, including specialist training in psychopharmacology (the use of drugs to treat mental illnesses).

Mental health specialists such as psychiatrists, psychologists, psychiatric nurses and clinical social workers conduct evaluations in psychiatric institutions or in the community, utilising diverse methods such as psychometric testing but frequently depending on observation and questioning. Various mental health experts give treatment. Two important treatment options are psychotherapy and psychiatric medication. Lifestyle adjustments, social interventions, peer support and self-help are some of the other therapies available. In a small number of circumstances, involuntary detention or treatment may be used. Depression has been demonstrated to be reduced via prevention measures [3-5].

Conclusion

Depression, which affects over 264 million people worldwide, bipolar disorder, which affects about 45 million people, dementia, which affects about 50 million people and schizophrenia and other psychoses, which affects about 20 million people, are among the most frequent mental diseases in 2019. Intellectual impairment and autism spectrum disorders are examples of neurodevelopmental diseases that often appear in infancy or childhood. Stigma and prejudice can exacerbate the pain and incapacity associated with mental illnesses, prompting a slew of social initiatives aimed at raising awareness and combating social exclusion.
