Psychiatrists are medically qualified doctors, which means they have the ability to prescribe you medication if they think this would benefit you.
However, although psychiatrists can prescribe medication, this doesn’t mean that they always do. Psychiatrists can also help you through talking therapy.
At our private psychiatry clinic in London, we believe that medication can be very helpful for many patients but acknowledge that it is not always needed. Your private psychiatrist will consider your specific symptoms and experiences and will take this into account when deciding whether to prescribe you medication or not.
You will be able to work with your private psychiatrist to develop your specific treatment plan by expressing any thoughts or concerns you have.
