Psychiatrists are qualified doctors of medicine with a specialization in mental disorders. Therefore, they often go beyond question/answer sessions, therapy and discussions. They also perform physical examinations, conduct lab tests, and evaluate brain scans. In so doing, they consider links between problems of the mind and physical symptoms of the brain. And then, they devise a treatment plan, which often includes:

• Psychotherapy
• Medication
• Psychosocial interventions
• Electroconvulsive therapy

Other therapies are suggested and provided as and when required.
