Are there psychiatrists who do more behavioral modification therapy than medication therapy?

frugal
milleresque asked:


I’m thinking about becoming a psychiatrist, but I was wondering if psychiatrists mostly just diagnose and prescribe medication for mental illnesses, or if they work more with talk therapy and behavioral modification — or would that just be up to a psychologist? I would really like to do therapy, but with more emphasis on behavioral modification and take time to help them work through problems, while being more on the frugal side with medication.

How do you stop worrying so much?

frugal
cufcchic199 asked:


I worry a lot about everything. Money and health especially. I realize that my family makes a lot of money each year (over 200,000) but they are very frugal with it. I can’t stop worrying about the economy and I don’t know how to not worry. I hate when they say “that is too expensive” or “we can’t afford that right now” and I just want to know how to get my mind off of it. Please help me!

Is it possible to have a disorder similar to bulimia that applies to other things besides food?

frugal
jtizzlicious asked:


I think I have a disorder that is like bulimia but doesn’t involve eating.

The same habits are present, binging and purging, feeling out of control.

For example, I will spend lots of money one week and then when I feel out of control I will be extremely frugal and then when i feel back in control I do things to lose that feeling.

This also applies to organization. I will obsessively clean and become very organized, only to gradually become more and more messy and out of control with clutter until I feel completely out of control and then I will continue the cycle.

What does this sound like? Bipolar? I’m planning on seeing a doctor but I wanted to see if anyone could take a guess on what this might be.
