psychiatry

Psychiatry is the branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of brain and behavioral disorders. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor specializing in the assessment and treatment of psychotic, mood, anxiety, attentional, eating, substance abuse and cognitive disorders. The symptoms a psychiatrist confronts can range from auditory, visual or other hallucinations; paranoid, grandiose or bizarre delusions; mood depression or elevation (mania); panic, social anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorders; attention deficits or hyperactivity; anorexia, bulimia or over-eating; dementia or intellectual disabilities. In working with the intellectually disabled population, the psychiatrist is often called upon to address behavioral disturbances including agitation, aggression, violent and self-abusive behaviors. The treatment tools employed include psycho-therapeutic techniques, psycho-social interventions, and pharmacology, as deemed appropriate. Some people seek the help of a psychiatrist for dealing with relationship problems, marital or child-rearing difficulties, bereavement and the stresses and strains of coping with other difficult life circumstances.
