Introduction Medical doctors with expertise and
special training in the area of mental health are
known as Psychiatrists. These Medical Doctors
undertake extra schooling to get specialized in
Mental Health. Psychiatrists are in fact
specialist doctors having all privileges as well
as rights that any other doctor
has. Psychologists on the other hand are not
medical Doctors and are just a specialist in
Psychology. They are only therapists and as such
cannot prescribe medicines. There are many
leading Psychologists in Pune who offer good
therapeutic treatment for mental illness. Hence
understanding the difference always helps in
locating the Best Psychiatrist in Pune

Why to Visit a Psychiatrist? Anyone suffering
from any kind of mental illness should
unfailingly visit a mental health professional
i.e. a Psychiatrist and get a proper mental
health evaluation done. Visiting a general
practitioner wont be of much help as it may
result in more harm than good as some of the
General Practitioners may fail to recognize
complex mental illness. Say for instance if one
is suffering from serious mental illness in a big
city like Pune, it would be wise to visit a
Psychiatrist in Pune rather than a
Psychologist. In comparison to a general
practitioner, a specialist would be able to
recognize cancer immediately, the same holds true
for mental illness where a Psychiatrist can
recognize the symptoms instantly.

There is nothing wrong in visiting a General
Practitioner for mental illness. It is just that
they are not specialists. A General Practitioner
hardly gets to treat many patients suffering from
mental illness. While the job of Psychiatrist is
just that. The usual physical examination, throat
and eye check up done by a general practitioner
along with prescribing of few medications or
antibiotics is not going to be of much help
especially in cases of bipolar disorder.
