Psychiatry is the medical specialism concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and management of mental disorders. Unlike clinical psychology, a psychiatrist is a medical specialist who can prescribe medication where appropriate, combining this with clinical monitoring and, where necessary, psychotherapeutic support.
Seeking help from a mental health professional is a sign of strength, not weakness. Many psychiatric disorders have treatment options available that can improve quality of life.
Depression and bipolar disorder are two of the most common diagnoses in psychiatry. Depression goes beyond temporary sadness: it is an illness that affects thinking, energy levels, sleep and the ability to enjoy everyday life. Bipolar disorder involves episodes of depression and episodes of euphoria or irritability, which require monitoring and specific treatment.
Generalised anxiety disorder, panic disorder, phobias and obsessive-compulsive disorder are common forms of anxiety that can seriously affect daily life. When anxiety significantly interferes with daily life, a psychiatric assessment helps to determine the most appropriate treatment.
Chronic insomnia, recurrent nightmares or behavioural sleep disorders can have a psychiatric origin that requires assessment and specific treatment.
Anorexia, bulimia and other eating disorders are mental health conditions that require a specialised psychiatric approach, usually in collaboration with other professionals.
Psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia, require early diagnosis and ongoing psychiatric care to manage symptoms and prevent relapses.
The misuse of alcohol, medicines or other substances may require a psychiatric assessment to identify any co-occurring disorders and determine the most appropriate treatment.
Difficulty concentrating, changes in behaviour, memory problems, persistent irritability or any other behavioural or mental health issue that causes distress or concern may be grounds for a psychiatric consultation.
