Psychiatrists

Psychiatry deals with the prevention, assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of the mind and mental illness.

A psychiatrist specialises in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental illnesses and substance use disorders. It takes many years of education and training to become a psychiatrist: He or she must graduate from college and then medical school, and complete several years of specialist training in the field of psychiatry.

Many psychiatrists undergo additional training so that they can further specialise in such areas as child and adolescent psychiatry, geriatric psychiatry, forensic psychiatry, psychopharmacology, and/or psychoanalysis.
