What Is Psychiatry? by euromed: 12:52pm On Apr 21, 2018
Psychiatry is the branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental, emotional and behavioral disorders.

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specializes in mental health, including substance use disorders. Psychiatrists are qualified to assess both the mental and physical aspects of psychological problems.

People seek psychiatric help for many reasons. The problems can be sudden, such as a panic attack, frightening hallucinations, thoughts of suicide, or hearing "voices." Or they may be more long-term, such as feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or anxiousness that never seem to lift or problems functioning, causing everyday life to feel distorted or out of control.

Some people try to solve their mental problems alone, but this does not lead to anything good.

To this day, I also face panic attacks after having a serious car accident, where I would lose my life. Periodically, I still feel these panic attacks; now, I can control them. Once, I took a treatment prescribed by doctors from https://www.cameronmch.com/services/psychiatry/. It is a little easier to get over these attacks, but I had the impression that I was suffocating before. In addition, I used to drink a lot of caffeine before, which made my condition even worse. The doctor told me to give up coffee for a while, so now I drink matcha.
