A psychiatrist is a medical doctor with advanced training in the treatment of mental illness. They have the expertise to diagnose, treat, and manage psychiatric conditions using a combination of medication and therapy. Unlike psychologists, psychiatrists can prescribe medication, making them an important part of your treatment team.
During a consultation with a psychiatrist, you will be given the opportunity to discuss your concerns, thoughts, and feelings. Your psychiatrist will also ask questions to gain a deeper understanding of your mental health and symptoms. After conducting a comprehensive assessment, your psychiatrist will work with you to develop a tailored treatment plan that may include medication, therapy, neurostimulation and/or lifestyle changes.
