om those surrounding them. Being left alone, sadly the practice of society in the past towards those fighting neural disorders would only snuff out the hope and encouragement a patient needs to find success. In most cases, a person in the war to get back a sense of mental normalcy will be directed to agencies that have recognized the power of community and have combined their resources to provide the support the patient needs for successful mental illness treatments.
A number of different health care professionals are available for help in the healing of mental disorders. A psychiatrist is a professional who has graduated from medical school with four or more years of advanced psychiatric training beyond medical school. This professional is able to conduct electro shock therapy as well as prescribe drugs for mental illness treatments. A psychologist may have a master's degree or doctoral degree and is trained to administer certain tests for psychological purposes but may not dispense drugs in most states and cannot perform physical exams. A psychiatric social worker may do some forms of psychotherapy and works with various social agencies to assist in a well rounded treatment program for the patient. This professional may not dispense drugs or perform physical exams. A psychoanalyst is a counselor trained in the practice of psychotherapy, an intensive form of counseling and this professional may not dispense drugs or perform physical exams.
There are many drug therapies that are used for various mental illness treatments, depending on the type of disorder being discussed. For example, there are certain serotonin reuptake inhibitors that are used for depression. New classes of anti-psychotic drugs are used for those who have schizophrenia. Anti anxiety drugs help to treat panic disorder and other phobias. And mood stabilizers are used to treat manic-depressive illnesses, also known as bipolar disorder. Those who have a strong spiritual base have been found to have a high success rate in overcoming mental disorders. "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities and who healeth all thine diseases." (Psalm 103:2, 3)
One of the most misunderstood of all the mental illness treatments is that of electroconvulsive therapy, better known as electro shock therapy. The movies are filled with distortions of this therapy, but it is one of the most effective and safe treatments for severe depression that the medical community can offer. Though there is often a temporary memory loss for some patients who are subjected to this therapy, is very safe and rarely causes any other complications. With the use of sedatives and muscle relaxants, the negative reactions from past decades' use of this therapy has been removed. It is the prerogative of the psychiatrist to suggest the use of such mental illness treatments in some cases.
The counseling side of mental illness treatments is also an important component in the overall therapeutic program for those suffering with neural disorders. Psychotherapy and its many different forms is an important key element in the smorgasbord of mental illness treatments. Psychotherapy is what most people know from movies where the patient sits and talks to a counselor, thus it is known as talk therapy. There are many forms of it, including the patient lying on the sofa and talking to the therapist, which is called psychoanalysis. Cognitive or cognitive-behavioral therapy helps the patient to identify faulty ways of thinking that often manifest themselves in self destructive or dysfunctional ways. In the case of the one who requires neural illness treatments of various forms, the use of cognitive therapy can be quite helpful in equipping the patient to think in different thought patterns than the ones used in the past that were dysfunctional. In any case of psychotherapy, the trust between therapist and patient is extremely important, and may take a matter of weeks or months to develop.
