 * < Psychiatry is a part of medical sciences, which deals with studies and treatment of mental and emotional disorders. Such as depression, Bi- polar, AD/HD, PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) Unlike psychologists, psychiatrists are doctors who prescribe drugs to patients. This is because psychiatry is related to mental health only whereas psychology is a broader study of behavior and thought processes and works on therapy and not drugs.

 * __Conclusion:__** In essence, Psychiatry is a very unique field of study. It allows one to treat mental disorders, mental illnesses, and other sever mental problems. Psychiatrists go through several years of school and many have to experience more years depending on if they specialize or not. The term " Psychiatry" that we are most familiar with is not necessarily what they do, there is more than such a vague description. Therefore, our opinions of them must change so we can truly understand what they do--help people who suffer to become better.
