Psychiatrists are doctors who went through undergrad school, medical school, and psychiatric residency training. The five major psychiatric disorders that they are trained to assess, diagnose, and treat include major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, autism, bipolar disorder, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Major Depressive Disorder
MDD is one of the most common mental health conditions that cause a depressed mood, inability to function in everyday life, and suicidal ideation. Psychiatrists can treat the major depressive disorder with various psychotherapies and medications.

Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia can cause hallucinations, behavioral changes, paranoia, delusions, and disordered thinking. If you or a loved one are suffering from schizophrenia, you will need to seek treatment for psychiatric care regularly.

Autism
Those with autism spectrum disorder can benefit from regular visits to a psychiatrist for ongoing support and care. Autism can present itself in early childhood and is detected by signs such as repetitive behavior, inability to communicate effectively, emotional disturbances, and decreased social skills.

Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder is a serious mood disorder that can cause extreme mood swings, depression, hypomania, and mania. These moods can last for months or only a brief period of time, depending on the type of bipolar disorder you have. Psychiatrists can help diagnose and treat bipolar.

Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder
Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder is often diagnosed in childhood when children begin to show symptoms, such as the inability to concentrate, fidgeting, emotional outbursts, excessive talking, and irritability. Those with ADHD will probably have these same difficulties in adulthood. Fortunately, psychiatrists can treat attention deficit disorders through behavioral therapies and medications. Learning to cope with skills, social skills, and behavioral skills can make ADHD much easier to manage.
