Psychiatrists are medical doctors (MDs or DOs) who specialize in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions, while psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) are advanced practice nurses with specialized training in psychiatric care. Both can prescribe and manage medication for conditions like anxiety, depression, ADHD, and bipolar disorder. Psychiatrists typically complete more years of clinical training, which may include specialized areas like child psychiatry. PMHNPs may have more availability and can be a good option when psychiatrist openings are limited. On Headway, you can find both psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners.

It depends on your insurance plan. Some plans allow you to see a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner directly, while others may require a referral from a primary care provider. Check with your insurance company or review your plan's explanation of benefits to confirm. If a referral is required, your primary care provider can help guide you to the right type of psychiatric care.
