psychiatrists

A psychiatrist is a type of physician who specializes in psychiatry. Psychiatrists evaluate patients to determine whether their symptoms are the result of a physical illness, a combination of physical and mental ailments, or strict mental issues. Sometimes a psychiatrist works within a multidisciplinary team, which may comprise clinical psychologists, social workers, occupational therapists, and nursing staff. Psychiatrists have broad training in a biopsychosocial approach to the assessment and management of mental illness.
