eli5: What do psychiatrists do? They help you with mental issues but how? Are there any strategies, guidelines?
In: Biology
Psychiatrists go to medical school, where they learn everything about the whole body, including anatomy, physiology, histology, pharmacology, pathology, etc.
Then they do a residency in psychiatry where they narrow down their training to focus just on the brain and mental health. There is plenty of science to learn about mental health, the problems that can arise, and how to solve them, and that’s what psychiatrists study.
