What does a psychiatrist do?
Psychiatrists are medical doctors who have qualified in psychiatry. They diagnose, treat and help prevent mental health conditions, and they can prescribe medication. To claim for a mental injury under the criminal injuries compensation scheme for England, Wales and Scotland, it must be diagnosed by a psychiatrist or a clinical psychologist.
Coming soon. No experts are listed in this specialty yet. When the Expert Directory opens, each listing will show the expert’s own professional contact details and exactly what we checked.
If you are a survivor with a solicitor, please speak to them before contacting an expert yourself.
