Understanding Psychiatric Care
What Does a Psychiatrist Do?
Psychiatrists are medical doctors who specialize in diagnosing and treating mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. Unlike other mental health professionals, psychiatrists can prescribe medications and evaluate both the psychological and physical aspects of a condition.
At IDCC, your psychiatrist can:
- Conduct full evaluations
- Develop treatment plans tailored to your needs
- Prescribe and manage psychiatric medications
- Offer psychotherapy and behavioral coaching
- Work with other healthcare professionals to support your progress
Conditions We Treat

- Depression and mood disorders
- Anxiety and panic disorders
- Bipolar disorder & Schizophrenia
- Personality disorders
- Addiction and substance use issues
- Eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia
- ADHD and autism spectrum conditions
- Memory loss and cognitive decline
We use a mix of therapy, medication, and support services to help you find stability and relief.
Are Psychiatric Services Covered by Insurance?
We accept most insurance plans, including:
- Medicaid and Medicare
- Commercial health insurance
- Plans with in-network mental health benefits
Our team can help verify your coverage and guide you through next steps so you can begin care without added stress.

3 Mental Evaluation
An evaluation may follow, which can include short questionnaires or diagnostic tools to clarify what’s happening and guide the next steps.
