Psychiatry Doctors & Physicians Near Me

Psychiatry is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who have specialized training in the field of mental health. They use a variety of approaches to help people with mental health issues, including medications, psychotherapy, and other treatments.
