Psychiatric Services in Philadelphia

About Psychiatric Services

Psychiatric services are provided by licensed psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners who specialize in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions. These professionals can prescribe and manage psychiatric medications, conduct comprehensive mental health evaluations, and coordinate care across multiple providers.

Psychiatric care may include an initial diagnostic evaluation, ongoing medication management, monitoring for side effects or treatment response, and coordination with therapists or primary care physicians. Some psychiatrists also provide psychotherapy in addition to medication management.
