Derived termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Psychiatry is the medical specialty devoted to the study and treatment of mental disorders. The term was first coined by the German physician Johann Christian Reil in 1808. Psychiatric assessment typically starts with a mental status examination and the compilation of a case history. Psychological tests and physical examinations may be conducted, including on occasion the use of neuroimaging or other neurophysiological techniques. Mental disorders are diagnosed in accordance with criteria listed in diagnostic manuals such as the widely used Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), published by the American Psychiatric Association, and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) edited and used by the World Health Organization. Psychiatric treatment applies a variety of modalities, including medication, psychotherapy and a wide range of other techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation. Treatment may be as an inpatient or outpatient, according to severity of function impairment/the disorder in question. Research and treatment within psychiatry as a whole are conducted on an interdisciplinary basis, sourcing an array of sub-specialties and theoretical approaches. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License What are some good colleges for psychiatry? Q. I'm looking into becoming a psychiatrist and I'm trying to figure out what some good colleges would be. I live in Tennessee so I was also trying to find out if UT has a good psychiatry department. Can you help me please? Asked by Hippi Heather - Thu Oct 2 21:57:58 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Psychiatry is a branch of medicine. People don't usually study psychiatry in college. They go to college to get a BS. After college they go to medical school to become an MD. After becoming an MD, they spend a year as a medical intern. At that point, the enter a residency program in Psychiatry -- where they spend several years mastering the subject. UT would be a decent enough school to go to for your BS. You should take all the Pre-Med classes. But it is always a good idea to take more than the minimum required, so you should major in Biology or Chemistry. While UT is a decent enough school, goinf to a better university for your BS will increase your chances of getting into medical school.

Psychology is simply the study of the mind. Psychotherapy can involve several methods (the most common being individual or group) and theories (cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy) to evaluate and work through problems a person may face. This is usually what people refer to when they mention they are in counseling. Psychiatry is a medical specialty related to chemical imbalances in the brain causing mental illness. This is the branch of psychological services that handles medication management and hospitalizations.

Q. I heard a Masters was necessary, but with the research I've done, it seems as though you must first get your BA, then MD, then do a minimum 4 year residency. Is a Masters required in Maryland? Asked by Sydney J - Thu Dec 11 18:18:40 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. A psychiatrist is an M.D., in any state. Master's degrees are earned in psychology. To get a license to practice psychiatry, you would need an M.D. and the required residency [3 years, with an optional first year of internal medicine]. During residency you would take the National Board Exam, which will lead to certification. Different states have different requirements for licensing. These should be available at the website for particular states, or perhaps at the AMA or APA websites.
