How can a psychiatrist help my depression?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
BPS Evaluation: Many psychiatrists believe in the "biopsychosocial" way of medical care - analyzing how all aspects of an individual's life play into his or her current mood. Based on the doctor's initial evaluation, there are many options to treat depression, such as medication, group therapy, and one-on-one counseling. A patient should talk (with the psychiatrist) about his own goals from undergoing therapy.

That's their job: Psychiatrists can figure out what is causing you symptoms (rule out other illnesses that present with depression) and prescribe--usually meds & therapy.
