Psychiatrists are medical doctors (MDs or DOs) who complete medical school and a residency in psychiatry. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) are advanced practice registered nurses with graduate-level training in psychiatric care. Both can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and provide medication management. In some states, PMHNPs practice independently, while in others they work under a collaborative agreement with a physician. On Headway, you can find both psychiatrists and PMHNPs and review their credentials, specialties, and approach before booking.
