Psychiatry
A psychiatrist is a physician who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental illnesses. Psychiatrists complete four years of training in medical school, followed by four years of residency training in Behavioral Health. Psychiatrists concentrate on the biological reason of a certain behavior. They focus on the body’s functions and the complex relationship between emotional illness
and other medical illnesses.
As medical doctors, psychiatrists are both Behavioral Health providers and physicians who can understand both the psychological and physical symptoms of mental illness. As medical doctors, psychiatrists can prescribe medications that help alleviate symptoms of psychological disorders.
At Wedgewood, our psychiatrist works in conjunction with other Behavioral Health professionals
to provide quality care to patients.
