What does a psychiatrist do? 

The psychiatrist conducts an initial psychiatric examination, which involves gathering information from the patient regarding his or her medical history, current symptoms, and family and environmental history. Then, based on the information gathered, the psychiatrist diagnoses and develops a treatment plan.

Treatment of mental disorders can include pharmacological therapy, psychological therapy or combined therapy. Pharmacological therapy involves taking medication such as antidepressants, antipsychotics or anti-anxiety medication. Psychological therapy involves working with the patient through various therapeutic methods, such as behavioural therapy, cognitive therapy or family therapy.

The online psychiatrist may also work with other professionals such as psychologists, therapists, and the patient's family to ensure the best possible treatment. For more serious mental disorders, the patient may need to be hospitalised in a psychiatric hospital.

Online psychiatric consultations - how do they differ from talking to a psychologist? 

A psychiatrist is the only doctor who can prescribe psychiatric medication and diagnose depression - one way to get therapy is through appointments using an app or a telephone call. A psychologist, on the other hand, is a specialist who investigates and diagnoses mental disorders and works to improve the patient's mental functioning. Psychologists use various therapeutic methods, such as cognitive behavioural therapy, family therapy or group therapy. By talking to the patient, he or she gets to the root of the problems and applies the therapy in the appropriate current. 

However, it is advisable to combine the help of a psychiatrist and a psychologist during the treatment, so that patients can get the best possible results and improve their mental health faster. In both cases, these specialists work together to provide patients with the best possible care. For severe mental disorders, such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia or depression, it is recommended to seek the help of both specialists.
