Therapist or psychiatrist
My older brother had a panic attack about a few minutes ago. We have come to a conclusion that improving his mental health will help him.. He currently has the following symptoms 1. Sucidal thoughts 2. Extreme anxiety 3. Lack of motivation 4. Anger management issues..
I am wondering if a psychiatrist would be better for him or a psychotherapy.. from my own experience psychiatrist usually just get you medication while a therapist will help him talk through it..
Please help me?
Hello
It appears that your brother is going to lot at this point of time. It must be very difficult for you as a sibling.
From what you have mentioned it appears that your brother may need a psychiatrist to begin with. Some amount of medication in combination with Counseling will be helpful.
My suggestion would be to begin with a psychiatrist ( for medication ) and a then therapist ( for counseling and talk therapy)
Take care.
