Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage your medication over time. Some psychiatrists also offer talk therapy. Therapists — including licensed counselors, social workers, and marriage and family therapists — provide talk therapy but typically cannot prescribe medication. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) are another option; they can also diagnose conditions and prescribe medication. On Headway, you can find both psychiatrists and therapists to match the type of care you're looking for.

Psychiatrists diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, and sleep-related concerns. They are trained to evaluate whether medication, therapy, or a combination of both may be appropriate for your situation.
