Mental health issues and Treatment:

Treatment: The treatment of mental illness depends on the type of mental illness, with its severity and what suits you. In many mental illness cases a combination of treatments works best.

Having mild mental illness including well-controlled symptoms, the treatment from your primary care provider would be sufficient for you. Though usually a team approach is good to ensure all your psychiatric, medical and social needs are met. It is very important in the case of severe mental illness like schizophrenia.

Medication: Although psychiatric medication not really cures mental illness, they can often significantly improve symptoms. The medication could also help make other treatments much more effective like psychotherapy. The best medication for you will depend on your specific condition and the response of your body to medication.
