How to choose a psychiatrist

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (MD or DO) who diagnoses and treats mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, schizophrenia and substance use disorders. Psychiatrists can prescribe medicine, and many focus on finding and adjusting the right medication [2].

Know who does what. Several kinds of professionals treat mental health, and they often work together:

  • Psychiatrists diagnose conditions and prescribe and manage medication. Some also provide therapy.
  • Psychiatric nurse practitioners can also diagnose and prescribe, depending on state rules [2]. Many hold the PMHNP-BC board certification [3]. We list them alongside psychiatrists, with credentials shown.
  • Psychologists and therapists provide talk therapy and, for psychologists, testing. They are not usually prescribers [2].

If you mainly want talk therapy, a psychologist or therapist may be the better first stop. If you think you may need medication, or your medication isn't working, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner is the right choice. Many people see both.

Check credentials. The American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology certifies psychiatrists. You can check a psychiatrist's certification for free on the ABPN website [1]. Our listings show the credentials providers report in the federal NPI registry, but we don't verify board certification or licenses.

Match the provider to your needs. Some psychiatrists focus on children and teens, older adults or addiction. Ask whether the practice treats your age group and your condition before you book.

Ask about telehealth. Many psychiatry visits, especially medication follow-ups, happen by video. Ask whether the first visit can be online and whether the provider is licensed in your state.

Confirm insurance and cost. Some psychiatrists don't take insurance, so ask before you book. Call the office or check your insurer's directory. Medicare Part B covers outpatient mental health visits with psychiatrists and nurse practitioners; you typically pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount after your deductible [4].

Ask about wait times. New-patient waits can run weeks or months. Ask about a cancellation list, and ask your primary care doctor whether they can start treatment while you wait.

Know when not to wait. If you're thinking about suicide or are in emotional distress, call or text 988, or chat at 988lifeline.org. It's free, confidential and open 24/7 [5]. Veterans can call 988 and press 1 [6]. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist?

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (MD or DO) who can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medicine. A psychologist has a doctoral degree, such as a PhD or PsyD, and provides talk therapy and testing but usually doesn't prescribe. Many people see a psychologist or therapist for therapy and a psychiatrist for medication.

Can a psychiatric nurse practitioner prescribe medication?

Yes, in general. Psychiatric nurse practitioners are trained to diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, though the exact rules depend on your state. Many hold the PMHNP-BC board certification. Our listings include psychiatric nurse practitioners alongside psychiatrists, with the credentials they report to the NPI registry, so you can see who is who.

Do I need a referral to see a psychiatrist?

It depends on your insurance. Many HMO plans require a referral from your primary care doctor, while PPO plans and traditional Medicare usually don't. Some plans manage mental health benefits through a separate company, so check the back of your insurance card or call your plan to find out what's needed before you book.

Can I see a psychiatrist by telehealth?

Often, yes. Many psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners offer video visits, especially for medication follow-ups. The provider usually needs to be licensed in the state where you are during the visit. Medicare and many private plans cover mental health telehealth, but rules vary, so ask the practice and your plan before you book.

What should I do in a mental health crisis?

Call or text 988, or chat at 988lifeline.org, to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. It's free, confidential and open 24 hours a day. Veterans can call 988 and press 1. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911. Don't wait for a psychiatry appointment in a crisis.
