Frequently Asked Questions
Are all medications given by psychiatrists addicting?
Psychiatrists prescribe a whole range of medications to patients. Please remember most of the medications given are not addicting and can easily be stopped without the patient feeling the craving for the medication or withdrawal symptoms. It is always best to consult the doctor before stopping any medicines.
Are Psychiatrists and Psychologists the same?
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who has done his MBBS training and then specialized in treating people with mental health problems, whereas a psychologist is a mental health professional who has done their graduation in psychology and specialization in clinical psychology. They are not medical professionals who can prescribe medications.
Consulting a psychiatrist means that I must be MAD?
A psychiatrist treats various psychological problems like anxiety disorders, depression, phobias, panic disorders, anger issues, alcohol and tobacco dependence, academic issues, and various other issues. The common stereotypical psychiatry patient depicted in movies and the media forms only a very minute percentage of patients seen by psychiatrists.
