With their medical training, psychiatrists can diagnose and treat mental disorders through therapy and medications.
Who is a psychiatrist
A psychiatrist is a specialist with a medical education who deals with the treatment of mental disorders (a group of symptoms and behavioral changes that cause mental suffering and are caused by mental disorders).
What is the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist
A psychologist deals with mentally healthy people, does not prescribe medications, does not make diagnoses, but helps the client establish relationships with himself and with the environment.
A psychiatrist is a doctor who typically treats severe mental disorders with medication.
When should you go to a psychiatrist
It is necessary to contact a psychiatrist when any condition that causes discomfort in a person and/or significantly reduces the quality of life lasts for 1-2 months.
These are insomnia, mood disorders, groundless anxiety, problems with memory and concentration, and unreasonable resentment.
What do you do when you see a psychiatrist
Thus, you talk about your complaints, and the psychiatrist listens, studies the answers and medical record data, decides whether to prescribe medication, or whether it is necessary to undergo additional medical examination by other doctors to identify concomitant physical ailments.
