About Psychiatrists, meds and Psychiatric Nurses.
A Psychiatrist in Arlington is a qualified medical doctor who specializes in treating mental health issues and diagnosable disorders.
Arlington Psychiatrists differ from other mental health professionals in that they may prescribe medication as well as practice psychotherapy in treatment. Sometimes, Psychiatrists form part of a clinical team in which they will diagnose and prescribe, while psychologists or therapists provide the client's psychotherapy.
As part of a clinical assessment, Psychiatrists may conduct physical examinations, take blood tests, and order and interpret lab tests and brain image scans, such as CT scans, CAT Scans, and MRIs.
The field of psychiatry in Arlington has many sub-specialties, including pediatric psychiatry. Those who work with the elderly are called geriatric psychiatrists.
Other related sub-specialties include cognition psychiatry, addiction psychiatry, psychosomatic, forensic, reproductive medicine specialties, psychopharmacology , psychiatric genetics, neuroimaging, and clinical neurophysiology.
Psychiatric nurse practitioners in Arlington, or mental health nurse practitioners, generally have an MS degree in nursing (MSN) and a number of years of training to become certified. Psychiatric nurse practitioners are able to assess and diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication. Arlington Psychiatric nurse practitioners also have training that enables them to include psychotherapy with treatment.

Arlington, VA Psychiatry - Meet With Board-Certified Psychiatrists
Major depression, postpartum depression, social anxiety, OCD.
These are just a few items on a very long list of mental illnesses that can benefit from medication. Many of us mistakenly believe that medication is only for those with severe mental health conditions. In reality, people with mild, moderate, and severe mental illnesses can benefit from taking medication for their given disorder. It all depends on the individual, their condition, their symptoms, their history with medication, and so on.
I think it’s really important to de-stigmatize mental illness in any form.
I think there’s a lot of people that are carrying around guilt and shame
and baggage for stuff that doesn’t matter. Everybody is going through
something, everybody has had something they’ve had to overcome.”
–Mary Lambert

What Is Medication Management? Who Needs It?
Medication management involves the assessment of an individual’s needs for medication, prescribing medication, and monitoring one’s use of this medication. Psychiatrists and nurse practitioners are often the physicians to oversee medication management, which is an important part of treating many different mental illnesses. For example, many people who suffer from depression can benefit from taking antidepressants. Symptoms of depression include:
- Changes in sleep
- Loss of appetite
- Withdrawal from others
- Reduced concentration
- Irritability
- Feelings of hopelessness
- General agitation
- Fatigue
- Thoughts of suicide
If you are exhibiting any combination of these symptoms, you might be struggling with depression and it’s important that you are evaluated.
If diagnosed with depression, a psychiatrist or nurse practitioner might then provide you with a prescription medication, which is designed to help you better manage these symptoms. Through medication management, your provider would ensure that you are taking the right medicine, as well as following appropriate usage of the medicine. This all goes back to helping you manage your illness and live a happier life.
Why Is Working with a Psychiatrist Important?
If you choose to work with an online psychiatrist or nurse practitioner at Thriveworks Arlington, your provider will work to ensure that you are receiving the desired outcomes from your medication. It’s important to know that often, it takes some time to start experiencing the expected benefits. However, if you take a given medication for an extended period of time and don’t experience the desired benefits, or there are more downsides than upsides to taking the medication, your psychiatrist or nurse practitioner can work with you to find a different medication that will help you.
Remember, their main goal is to work toward the betterment of your life. They want to provide you with the right assistance.
In many cases, clients don’t understand fully the effects of their medication. Or, they don’t understand the impact of taking more or less of their medication, taking it at the wrong time, taking it with food despite instructions, etc. Your Thriveworks Arlington online psychiatrist or nurse practitioner will make sure that you understand these implications. Medication management is important, and your provider will treat it as such. Your provider will also be sure to go over the potential side effects of your given medication. They don’t want to leave any rock unturned.

And again, if you don’t achieve the desired outcome from taking the given medication, they will work with you to find one that does help you.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) was founded in 1959 in Arlington County, Virginia at the initiative of a number of insurance companies. The institute has undertaken an independent assessment of models entering the market and annually publishes closed and open reports on the degree of protection of the driver and passengers in an accident. Often their conclusions are more strict and differ from the data of the NHTSA government agency, for which the institute has received recognition from ordinary car owners. nine0005
With the development of technology, evaluation methods change. Since the beginning of this decade, the Institute has begun to study the influence of electronic systems.
The automatic braking assistant is recognized as very effective, and its presence gives preferences to models in the ratings.
The Crash Center has crashed virtually every 2017 model year that has hit the global market. Labs recreate five types of crashes at 40 mph (64 km/h). These are frontal impact with 40% overlap, direct impact, side impact, roof fall and rear impact. Modern cars are evaluated according to an advanced methodology, where braking assistants, child safety, and head lighting work are added to crash tests. nine0005
Each crash test is rated on a four-point scale: Good, Acceptable, Extreme, and Poor. To evaluate electronic assistants, a scale of 6 points was invented. The maximum rating means that the car is guaranteed to stop in front of an obstacle at a speed of 50 km/h. To win the top rating of 2017 TOP SAFETY PICK+ (TSP+), you need to get the highest ratings for crash tests and acceptable ones for electronics. If compliance with strict requirements is not observed, then the machines may be awarded a more benign TOP SAFETY PICK (TSP) rating, reduced by one rating.
In other cases, the vehicle is excluded from the IIHS safety ratings. nine0005
So who won this year among the different car classes?

Minicar (class B)
The Americans included only two newcomers in their ratings: the Mini Cooper and the Toyota Yaris iA sedan. Both cars achieved a truncated TSP rating, although this is also a high result for small city cars.
| Model | Crash test | Electronics (Assessed by 6 points) | Headlight operation | Child seats |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mini Cooper | Good | 6 | Acceptable | Acceptable |
| Toyota Yaris iA | Good | 2 | At the limit | Acceptable |
Small cars (class C)
There are many more winners here.
Larger cars coped much better with safety requirements. Only champions with the highest TSP+ rating are represented in the table. nine0005
| Model | Crash test | Electronics (Assessed by 6 points) | Child seats | Headlight operation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Subaru Impreza | Good | 6 | Good | Good | nine0205
| Hyundai Elantra | Good | 6 | Acceptable | Good |
| Mazda 3 | Good | 6 | Acceptable | Acceptable |
| Toyota Prius | nine0209 6 | Good | Acceptable | |
| Toyota Corolla | Good nine0212 | 6 | Acceptable | Acceptable |
| Volkswagen Jetta | Good | nine0002 2 | Acceptable | At the limit |
Midsize cars (class D)
Midsize sedans are the most common type of car in America. We take them for business class. But more doesn't mean better. Some of the cars showed even worse results than their counterparts from the C-segment. nine0005

| Subaru Outback | Good | 6 | Acceptable | At the limit |

| Toyota Prius v nine0212 | Good | 3 | Good | At the limit |
Small SUVs
Small SUVs are gaining popularity around the world.
In Russia, they do become leaders. They are given special attention by developers. As it turns out, they're safer than the big sedans, and the anti-collision electronics are the best. nine0005
| Model | Crash test | Electronics (Assessed by 6 points) | Child seats | Headlight operation |

| Honda CR-V | Good | 6 | Acceptable | Acceptable | nine0205
