Psychiatry

Psychiatry deals with understanding and treating mental illness, emotional disorders, stress-related conditions and personality functions. The psychiatrist has earned an M.D. degree and spent four years of continued education in a residency program. Many psychiatrists do not adhere to one particular method of treatment but use a variety of methods, depending on the individual being treated. Treatment methods include individual, group and family therapies, educational programs and activity and medication therapies.
