What psychiatrists treat
Psychiatry is the medical care of mental health. A psychiatrist assesses anxiety, low mood, panic, sleep problems, obsessive thoughts, addiction and psychosis, and treats them with a combination of talking therapy, medication where it is indicated, and practical changes to sleep, routine and support. Physical causes — thyroid problems, vitamin deficiency, medication side-effects — are usually checked as part of the assessment.
If you are thinking about harming yourself or someone else, this is an emergency. Contact your emergency number, go to the nearest emergency department, or call a crisis helpline now — do not wait for an appointment.
