A psychiatrist is a doctor who specializes in treating mental, emotional and behavioral illnesses.

Psychiatrists are trained medical professionals who can diagnose disorders, give therapy, prescribe drugs and develop treatment regimens that are unique to each patient. They also assist patients in dealing with stress, sleep issues, mood swings and relationship problems that have an impact on mental health. Psychiatrists use medical expertise and psychological care to help patients improve their mental health, everyday functioning, and overall quality of life through professional supervision and treatment.
