A psychiatrist is a specialized medical doctor who can prescribe medication and treat more complex mental disorders. You might seek help if:

. You or a family member is experiencing severe symptoms, such as panic attacks, thoughts of self-harm, or dangerous behaviors.

. There are signs of a mental disorder, such as severe depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety and mood disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), adjustment disorders, substance-related disorders, behavioral issues, or other mental health concerns.

. There have been extreme changes in mood or behavior, such as episodes of euphoria followed by deep sadness.

. Psychological therapy alone has not been effective, and a medical evaluation is needed to determine if pharmacological treatment is necessary.

. There is a family history of severe mental disorders.
