Psychiatrist – Why Consulting a Specialist Matters
A Psychiatrist is a medical doctor (MD or MBBS + DPM/MD Psychiatry) who specializes in mental health. Unlike psychologists, psychiatrists can prescribe medications and manage complex psychiatric conditions. They treat depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, ADHD, eating disorders, addiction, and personality disorders. They work with psychologists, counselors, and social workers for holistic care. Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Geriatric Psychiatry, Addiction Psychiatry, and Forensic Psychiatry are key subspecialties.
