Psychiatry
Medical doctors specializing in mental health — diagnosis, medication, and ongoing care.
What does a psychiatrist do?
Psychiatrists are medical doctors (MD or DO) who specialize in mental health. They diagnose conditions like depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, and psychotic disorders; prescribe and manage psychiatric medications; and coordinate care with therapists, primary-care providers, and other specialists.
Most psychiatrists today focus on medication management — usually 15-30 minute follow-up visits every 1-3 months — and refer patients to a separate therapist for ongoing talk therapy. Some still do both, but it's less common. The first appointment is longer (typically 45-60 minutes) so the psychiatrist can take a full history.
Psychiatrist vs. psychologist vs. therapist
Only psychiatrists (and a few other prescribers like psychiatric nurse practitioners) can prescribe medication. Psychologists, licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), and licensed marriage-and-family therapists (LMFTs) provide therapy and assessment but cannot prescribe. Many patients see both: a psychiatrist for medication and a therapist for talk therapy.
If you don't know where to start, primary care is a reasonable first step — your PCP can screen for common conditions, prescribe some medications, and refer you to the right specialist if needed. If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call or text 988 (the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or go to the nearest emergency department — don't search a directory.

Frequently asked
Do I need a referral to see a psychiatrist?
Some insurance plans require a referral; many don't. Check with your insurer or the practice's profile for accepted insurance and referral requirements before booking.
How long is a typical psychiatry appointment?
First appointments are usually 45-60 minutes so the psychiatrist can take a full history. Follow-up medication-management visits are typically 15-30 minutes and happen every 1-3 months once you're stable on a regimen.

Usually not. Most psychiatrists today focus on medication management and refer patients to a separate therapist (LCSW, psychologist, or LMFT) for talk therapy. The two providers communicate as needed.
