Clinical Psychiatry

Clinical psychiatry is a branch of medicine focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing mental health disorders. Psychiatrists, who are medical doctors, assess patients through interviews, psychological tests, and medical histories to understand their emotional and behavioral issues. They use various treatment approaches, including psychotherapy (talk therapy), medications, or a combination of both, to help individuals manage conditions like depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. Ultimately, clinical psychiatry aims to improve the quality of life for those affected by mental health challenges, promoting mental wellness and emotional resilience.
