FAQs
Take a moment to review these most frequently asked questions in regard to Psychiatry.
What is a Psychiatrist?
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specializes in mental health. A psychiatrist understands both physical and mental health conditions, and they will consider the links between them. Psychiatrists must train at medical school before training in psychiatry. Psychiatrists, psychologists, and therapists are all healthcare professionals who help treat mental health conditions.
The main difference between a psychiatrist, nurse practitioner and psychologists/therapist is medical training: A psychiatrist needs a premedical bachelor’s degree (4 years), medical school (4 years) and psychiatry residency (4 years). Some choose to do an additional fellowship (1-2 years) to specialize in a certain area- E.g.- child & adolescent psychiatry, geriatric psychiatry, addiction psychiatry etc.
What is a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP)?
PMHNPs must complete a graduate nursing degree that provides specialized training in a population focus. The Master of Science in nursing (MSN), which serves as the minimum educational requirement for nurse practitioners, usually takes two years including didactic coursework and clinical rotations
What is a Nurse Practitioner (NP)?
The American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) cites two key schooling requirements for NPs. A candidate must hold at least a bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) to enter graduate-level NP school. Secondly, candidates must complete a general or specialized master of science in nursing (MSN) or a doctor of nursing practice (DNP) degree.
What is a Physician Assistant (PA)?
A physician assistant, or PA, is a licensed health care professional, trained to provide patient evaluation, education, and health care services. A PA works with a physician (supervised by an MD) to provide medical care and guidance needed by a patient.
A PA must attend a specialized training program associated with a medical school that includes classroom studies and clinical experience. An academic degree is awarded upon graduation. Many PAs have two- or four-year academic degrees before entering a PA training program.
What is a therapist?
“Therapist” is a term referring to psychotherapists, psychologists, and counselors.
Psychotherapy, also called talk therapy or usually just “therapy,” is a form of treatment aimed at relieving emotional distress and mental health problems. Provided by any of a variety of trained professionals—psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, or licensed counselors—it involves examining and gaining insight into life choices and difficulties faced by individuals, couples, or families.
