What a Psychiatrist Does, and What They Can Prescribe
Why choose a psychiatrist?
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specialises in mental health. Unlike a psychologist or therapist, a psychiatrist can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage your treatment over time. This is the main reason to see a psychiatrist rather than a therapist: diagnosis, prescribing, and ongoing medication management.
Diagnosis. A psychiatrist assesses your symptoms and history to reach a clear diagnosis, whether that is ADHD, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder or another condition.
Prescribing. As qualified medical doctors, our psychiatrists can start, adjust and review medication. For many people this is the practical reason they need a psychiatrist rather than talking therapy alone.
Ongoing medication management. Treatment rarely ends at the first prescription. Our psychiatrists review how medication is working, adjust the dose where needed (titration), and support you over the longer term, either directly or through shared care with your GP.
ADHD medication. Where appropriate, our psychiatrists can prescribe and manage medication as part of an ADHD treatment plan, including the licensed UK options such as Elvanse and methylphenidate, alongside non-stimulant alternatives where these are better suited. Medication is one option within a wider plan, not a given, and any decision follows a full assessment.
Prescribing is used where it is clinically appropriate, alongside other support rather than as an automatic first step. If you are unsure whether you need a psychiatrist or a psychologist, see the short answer in our questions below.
