Psychiatrists as Prescribers Versus Holistic Providers of Mental Health Treatment by Hani Raoul Khouzam in TBSND - juniper Publishers
With the many recent advances in the pharmacological treatment of
psychiatric conditions.The pharmaceutical industry has been vigorous in
promoting their products as being very effective intervention for the
treatment of mental and psychiatric conditions. Health insurance
companies have also been very restrictive in reimbursing psychiatrists
for their clinical services if they do not prescribe medications for
their patients' treatment [1].
As a result, many psychiatrists have been pressured to limit their
scope of practice to prescribing medications and have been labeled as
prescribers as opposed to being physicians who specialize in providing
comprehensive and holistic mental health treatment to patients who
suffer from psychiatric conditions [2].
The purpose of this commentary is to redefine the role of psychiatrists
not just as prescribers but as providers of their time honored calling
as holistic healer of mental illness.
