A psychiatrist is a medical doctor specializing in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. They are qualified to assess both the physical and mental aspects of psychological problems, and can prescribe medication and provide psychotherapy.
Psychiatrists hold an M.D. (Doctor of Medicine) or D.O. (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine) degree, meaning they have completed medical school and residency training.
They undergo specialized training in psychiatry, typically a four-year residency program after medical school.
Psychiatrists are trained to diagnose mental health conditions, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more.
They can prescribe medications to treat mental health conditions, which is a key distinction from psychologists.
Psychiatrists also provide psychotherapy, also known as “talk therapy,” to help patients manage their mental health.
They consider both the biological and psychological factors that contribute to mental illness.
If you are experiencing symptoms such as persistent sadness, anxiety, changes in sleep or eating habits, difficulty concentrating, or suicidal thoughts, it may be time to consult a psychiatrist.
Psychiatrists can help diagnose mental health conditions and develop a treatment plan that may include medication, therapy, or a combination of both.
