By listening to his patients’ concerns and thoughts, Dr. Wu can create treatment plans specific to their needs and offer solutions. Here are tips on services Dr. Richard Wu provides at Meadows Psychiatry LLC.
Psychotherapy
A psychotherapist targets mental problems through counseling, therapy, or psychological interventions. This can be a one-on-one or group therapy session with other patients. To understand a specific case so well, Psychotherapists must have extensive training and education on various mental issues such as anxiety disorders, autism spectrum disorders, bipolar disorder, depression disorders, and more.
See our psychiatrist Dr. Wu for more information about your mental health concerns and therapy.
Psychiatry
Psychiatry is the medical field that focuses on diseases of the mind and nerves and emotional disorders. A psychiatrist targets mental problems and disorders through psychiatric interventions. This includes prescribing medications, diagnosing, and managing physical conditions that accompany mental illness.
Dr. Richard Wu’s role is to diagnose, treat, care for, and manage psychological symptoms and signs, emotional problems (including depression or anxiety), personality concerns, and psychotic thoughts or behaviors.
Psychopharmacology
Psychopharmacology is the branch of medicine that deals with the use of drugs to treat psychiatric disorders and mental illnesses. Dr. Wu has extensive training in psychopharmacology and mental health treatments such as psychotherapy.
Dr. Wu can provide the best psychopharmacology and mental health treatment for your specific needs.
Telemedicine
We have pioneered the use of telemedicine as a way to deliver high-quality, convenient healthcare to our patients in Chevy Chase. Dr. Wu can treat you using this means of healthcare, meaning you benefit from the convenience of treatment at home while also getting access to the same high-quality care you would have received in person at Meadows Psychiatry.
It is ideal for patients just starting with mental healthcare issues, as it can be a less intimidating way to start therapy and introduce medication. I have seen patients treated through telemedicine be delighted with the results of their medications: a reduction in symptoms and more enjoyment in their lives.
Psychiatric care
Dr. Wu also provides psychiatric care for those in need of the service. Whether you are suffering from an organic brain disorder such as Alzheimer’s or have a mental illness such as schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, or PTSD, Dr. Wu has the training and experience to provide you with the high-quality care you need. We also offer services to children and adolescents in Chevy Chase, MD.
