When to consult a psychiatrist
Psychiatrists are medical doctors who diagnose and treat mental illness and can prescribe medication — for depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, psychosis, addiction, and sleep and memory problems. They often work alongside psychologists, who provide talking therapy but do not prescribe. Tele-MANAS, the government's free 24×7 mental health helpline, is on 14416 if you would rather talk to someone before booking.
