Adult Psychiatrists
What is a psychiatrist?
Psychiatrists are medical doctors who are experts in mental health. They specialise in diagnosing and treating people with mental illness.
Psychiatrists have a deep understanding of physical and mental health– and how they affect each other.
They help people with mental health conditions such as schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder, eating disorders and addiction.
What does a psychiatrist do?
Psychiatrists assess all of your mental and physical symptoms.
They make a diagnosis and work with you to develop a management plan for your treatment and recovery.
Psychiatrists provide psychological treatment, prescribe medications and do procedures such as electroconvulsive therapy.
As part of their work, a psychiatrist can:
- Provide urgent care for a sudden mental illness
- Help you to manage a long-term mental health condition
- Provide advice about lifestyle changes
- Work with you individually, or with you and your partner, family or carers
- Provide second opinions and advice to other doctors and health professionals
