=__ Treatment method __=

Most treatment methods for mental health disorders can be categorized as either somatic or psychotherapeutic treatment. Somatic treatments include drug therapy and electroconvulsive therapy. Psychotherapeutic treatments include individual, group, or family and marital psychotherapy; behavior therapy techniques (such as relaxation training or exposure therapy); and hypnotherapy. Most studies suggest that for major mental health disorders,both drugs and psychotherapy is more effective than either treatment method used alone.  Psychiatrists are not the only mental health care practitioners trained to treat mental illness. There also clinical psychologists, social workers, nurses, and some pastoral counselors are involved in mental illness treatment. However, psychiatrists (and psychiatric nurse practitioners in some states) are the only mental health care practitioners licensed to prescribe drugs. Other mental health care practitioners practice psychotherapy primarily. Many primary care doctors and other non-mental health care doctors also prescribe drugs to treat mental health disorders.
