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

Years ago, there probably wasn't a huge difference and that's why most people wanted to go to psychiatrists (since they were the MDs.) Now though, MOST (no, not ever single one) psychiatrists simply write out prescriptions for meds, ask if you have any bad side effects, stuff like that. This is because psychiatrists (again, mostly) believe all mental health issues are brain disorders, symptoms have no particular meaning and you need to get rid of them ASAP. Psychologists help you access emotions (which is not possible if they've been blunted by medication) so that you can figure out the meanings of your symptoms and move your way through them.
