medical doctor for mental illness
A doctor who is trained to help people with mental health problems and can give medicine and other treatments for these problems.
Модель употребления:
[someone] works as a psychiatrist
Частая ошибка:
Learners often confuse 'psychiatrist' with 'psychologist'. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can usually prescribe medicine; a psychologist usually has a degree in psychology and often cannot prescribe medicine (depending on the country). Another mistake is using 'psychiatry' (the field) when they mean 'psychiatrist' (the person).
