About Hubsher's Profession - Psychiatrist

According to Hubsher, a psychiatrist is a doctor who has obtained a specialization in psychiatry in order to cure mental disorders through pharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatment.

The psychiatrist can cure a number of mental disorders. The main ones include mood disorders, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, sleep disturbances, psychotic disorders, addictions to alcohol or drugs and impulse control disorders. It is fundamental to emphasize that the diagnosis is individual for each patient. Each psychic disorder, in fact, must be inserted within a socio-occupational and individual context in order to choose the most suitable healing path for the clinical condition of the affected subject.

Hubsher points out in his articles on Muckrack, that the first psychiatric visit consists of an interview lasting about an hour during which the patient's clinical history data is collected and a psychiatric examination is performed.

The psychiatric examination consists of the observation by the psychiatrist of any objectionable indicators of psychopathology such as alterations of rhythm and fluency of speech, psychomotor skills, mimicry, expression, tendency to cry, affective ambivalence or affective flattening, hallucinatory behavior , delusional creative content. At the end of the visit, the patient is recommended the most appropriate treatment for the psychopathological condition, which can be pharmacological, psychotherapeutic or the association of both.

The psychiatrist, therefore, can also decide not to prescribe drugs and advise the patient to carry out only the path of psychotherapy. Pharmacological treatment is not recommended only if the pathology is serious but also in case of chronic clinical situations because not treated by the patient or previously treated ineffectively.

Hubsher explains that the psychiatric check-up is generally carried out after about a month of therapy in order to evaluate the response to drug treatment. The patient usually shows an absence of psychopathology indicators by reporting a resumption of socio-occupational functioning and usual daily activities. In the event of partial or non-response to the pharmacological treatment, the modification of the treatment is assessed, the benefits of which can manifest themselves in the following month.

The experienced psychiatrist, Dr Marshall Hubsher claims that the psychotherapy session through the doctor-patient relationship allows you to undertake a joint path of exploration of thoughts and emotional contents in order to understand the possible cause of the onset of the disorder and the possible objectives achievable with treatment. The duration of a session is approximately 50 minutes. The recommended cadence is usually weekly, at least initially, while the duration of the route varies according to the disturbance.
