Psychiatry is the medical specialty devoted to diagnosing, preventing, and treating mental disorders. These include various maladaptations related to mood, behavior, cognition, and perceptions. Psychiatrists analyze and evaluate patient data and test or examination findings to diagnose the nature and extent of mental disorder. They design individualized care plans using a variety of treatments, as well as may collaborate with physicians, psychologists, social workers, psychiatric nurses or other professionals to discuss treatment plans and progress.
