Psychiatry
Psychiatry is the medical specialty concerned with finding treatments and therapies for mental disorders that may affect an individual.
One of the terms often used to describe this discipline is integrative discipline, as psychiatric distress can arise from various factors, including medical and biological factors, social and family contexts, relationships and interpersonal experiences, as well as legal and political circumstances. Therefore, psychiatrists consider these different areas in order to identify the causes of the condition and the appropriate treatments.

Individual psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is based on an emotional and trusting relationship between the patient and the psychotherapist. It takes place through dialogue, conversation, reflection or other techniques.
It is a therapeutic process aimed at restoring psychological well-being by addressing distress, discomfort and any obstacles that may prevent a person from living with greater serenity.
It therefore addresses psychological difficulties that affect personal well-being and quality of life. These difficulties may manifest through different channels, including psychological, behavioural and psychosomatic symptoms of varying severity.
Psychotherapy helps interpret distress and draw on personal resources to promote change towards a new and more stable balance, with the aim of resolving difficulties.
Its purpose is therefore to overcome situations of distress that make everyday life difficult and help restore a possible condition of well-being.

Psychiatric certification
The psychiatrist issues a medical certificate documenting mental health conditions and any related disabilities.
Psychiatric certification may be requested by patients themselves to document a past or current psychiatric condition when required for benefits provided by law, or by the relevant authorities to establish the actual presence of a declared psychiatric condition or, conversely, to certify a condition of psychological well-being where required for specific benefits or authorisations.
