Our experience and expertise include helping patients determine the optimal treatment, or combination of treatments. We have so many new medications and therapies today which makes it challenging for patients to determine where to start. The number of new medicines and therapies together with the new data emerging about their optimal uses provides challenges for doctors also.
Psychiatrists, trained as medical doctors with a specialty in mental health issues, have the knowledge and training required for diagnosing mental illness, recommending treatment options (including medications) and coordinating a team of professionals to assist in diagnosis and treatment.
