Psychologist discusses substance abuse and addiction.
Your local psychologist is a health professional who treats mental health disorders. They are different from psychiatrists mainly in that they don’t prescribe medication. Whether you have depression, anxiety, ADHD or are managing a chronic condition such as diabetes, a local psychologist can help you gain the tools you need to manage your mental health. There is also a connection between what you eat and your mental health. Studies have shown that eating a balanced diet rich in nutrients can improve your mood. A local psychologist can work with your local registered dietitian or nutritionist to create the ideal wellness plan for your situation.
