Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage your medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy to help you work through mental health challenges, and their titles may include licensed professional counselor, licensed clinical social worker, or psychologist. Some people see both a psychiatrist for medication and a therapist for talk therapy. On Headway, you can find both types of providers.

Both psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, but they differ in their training.

Both provider types are available on Headway and can support medication management for conditions like anxiety, depression, ADHD, and bipolar disorder.
