Psychological Treatment

Psychological Treatment Services offered by Dr. Frankfurt

Psychology is the scientific study of mental function and behavior. Psychologists study not only the individual’s physiological and biological aspects, but also the social component as well. You could say that psychology approaches the issue of mental health from a more physical point of view, and then combines how physical and biological issues affect a person’s way of thinking. Psychiatrists, or psychiatry, on the other hand, aim to address the way the mind itself works in terms of the person’s foundations for personality and even a person’s sense of self.

For some mental health issues, it’s important to consult a psychologist, particularly if the mental health issue seems to be rooted more in biological or physiological issues, though it would be best if a patient can check with both a psychiatrist and a psychologist.
