Treatment
Modern psychiatry has advanced far beyond what one may realize. The dominant paradigm of psychiatry is the medical model, which compares mental ailments to physical illness. It suggests that mental conditions can be addressed medically and treated with multiple modalities. In a medical condition like a stroke, the multiple modes used may include a drug-eluting stent, multiple medications, including blood thinners, statins, antihypertensives, and biologics; also, behavioral interventions, such as diet and exercise. Likewise, Multimodal approaches for mental conditions combine a variety of modalities that alone have modest effect, but put together, have remarkable effect. The multiple modes used may include medications, somatic treatments (ECT, TMS), behavioral and psychosocial interventions.
