Psychiatry in Tarragona

Psychiatry is the medical specialty dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental and behavioural disorders. The psychiatrist, as a medical specialist, can perform a complete clinical evaluation, order complementary tests when necessary and prescribe pharmacological treatment, which differentiates them from the psychologist.

Anxiety and depressive disorders are the most common mental health conditions in the adult population, affecting 1 in 4 people throughout their lifetime. Early detection and appropriate treatment significantly improve prognosis and quality of life.

At Fontanet Medicina i Fisioterapia we offer psychiatric consultation in a multidisciplinary medical setting. This allows a comprehensive approach to the patient, coordinating psychiatric treatment with other specialties when symptoms have an associated somatic component (chronic pain, fatigue, somatizations, insomnia).

Our approach combines pharmacological treatment when indicated with healthy lifestyle recommendations, stress management techniques and coordination with other healthcare professionals for a complete recovery.
