Question by Spec Tac: What various types of mental health therapy are available?
I’ve heard several terms; therapist, psychiatrist, psycho-therapist, etc. Sounds like there are a lot of options out there. Can anyone break down the various types of treatment for me?

A therapist/psychotherapist (PhD degree) is what one would refer to as the “talk therapy” type person. They sit down with you in a 1-on-1 session and you discuss any issues you might be having and they essentially coach you or provide the correct treatment or assistance in accordance with your current situation/mental illness.

A psychiatrist is a person who has a Medical Degree (MD) and therefore, can prescribe medications. They usually dispense psychiatric medications to patients with mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more.

Emphasis would be on doing the twelve steps; the twelve steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. Now, there’s probably only five or six inpatient facilities in the whole United States that primarily the cognitive behavioral model, but they too sort of align with the thirty-day idea. They do, as well, focus on groups and individual talk therapy. There’d be more emphasis probably on relaxation techniques, and things to help the individual desensitize to the arousal one might get when in the presence of a video monitor, or something like that. However, in a traditional twelve-step or diseased model facility, I don’t mean to say that they’re awful, but generally speaking you’re not going to get that much more than you would get in a …
