Модель уживання:

Поширена помилка:
Learners often confuse "psychiatry" (the medical field) with "psychology" (the scientific study of the mind, not necessarily medical). Another mistake is using it like a countable noun, e.g., *"He is a psychiatry"* instead of "He works in psychiatry" or "He is a psychiatrist." Learners may also say *"I went to psychiatry"* when they should say "I went to a psychiatrist" or "I went to the psychiatry department."
