Psychiatrists

A psychiatrist is a doctor who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of mental illness and substance use disorders. Psychiatrists must receive additional training and complete a supervised residency in their specialty. They may also have additional training in a psychiatric specialty, such as child psychiatry or neuropsychiatry. They can prescribe medication, which psychologists cannot do. The extensive medical training enables the psychiatrist to understand the body's functions and the complex relationship between emotional illness and other medical illnesses. The psychiatrist is thus the mental health professional and physician best qualified to distinguish between physical and psychological causes of both mental and physical distress.
