Is There A Need For Psychiatry In Apex

By Linda Ruiz


Apex is a small town in Wake County, North Carolina. It is a suburb of Raleigh, the state capital. As of the 2012 census, the population was estimated at 40,420. The population density is just over 2,400 per square mile. Compare this to that of New York City, New York, at 27,778, or Albuquerque, New Mexico, which is just a little less than 3,000 per square mile. While not exactly a backwater or one-horse town, the area has a distinct rural character and is well-served by park area. Because of the low population density and the solid connection with nature, it seems reasonable to surmise that there is only a token requirement for psychiatry in Apex.

Incorporated in 1873, the "Peak of Good Living" derived its name from its apical position on the Chatham Railroad where it connects Jacksonville, Florida, with Richmond, Virginia. Despite a succession of devastating fires, the town grew steadily. By the 1990s, the population had exploded to 20,000, slightly under what it is now. It now boasts a major shopping center and two highways, 55 and 64.

Fred G. Bond Park, or Bond Park, is one of the largest parks in Wake County and the largest municipal park adjacent to Apex. It harbors several athletic fields and has 4.2 miles of dedicated trails. A man-made lake is encircled by one such trail that is a favorite among cyclists and joggers. The lake is also popular with boaters and fishermen. Bond Park is slightly northeast of Apex itself.

Brooks Park, named after Thomas E. Brooks, is formally within the city limits of Cary, North Carolina, although it is roughly the same distance from Apex. It has 224 acres of beautiful scenery to be enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. People who have been there and reviewed the park online comment that it is a good place to find, and even join, an informal basketball game.

The branch of medicine concerned with preventing, diagnosing and treating mental health problems is called psychiatry. The three main categories of mental health problems are disorders of cognition, problems with perception, mood disorders like anxiety and depression, and thought disorders, such as schizophrenia.

The term, "psychiatry, " is derived from the German for "medical treatment of the soul." Medical doctors who specialize in this area are called psychiatrists. Psychiatrists need to be knowledgeable about medicine, but also about the biological as well as social sciences. There are three types of psychiatric disorders: severe learning disabilities, mental illnesses and personality disorders.

Mental disorders are anomalies that may cause suffering or functional impairment. Psychopathology is the scientific study of these disorders. Identifying an individual as a psychopath is far more complicated than whether they have just cut you off on the freeway.

Personality disorders are a different type of disorder from mental disorders, although it is difficult for the lay person to distinguish between the two. A nut case is a nut case, right? Not really. A personality disorder has a number of different components; namely, behavioral, cognitive and something known as "inner experience." A person is diagnosed with a personality disorder if their condition disrupts their social or occupational functioning.
