A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing, treating, and preventing mental health disorders. They are trained to assess both the psychological and physical aspects of mental health issues.

Unlike psychologists or therapists, psychiatrists can prescribe medications to manage conditions such as

  • depression

  • anxiety

  • bipolar disorder

  • schizophrenia

  • ADHD

  • And other mental health conditions
