Searching for Jobs for Psychiatrists
Psychiatry has been a growing physician specialty since the 19th century. In the past, treating less severe mental health conditions was often thought of as secondary, or even optional, and patients dealing with more severe mental illness were often confined to residential mental institutions. Today, psychiatrists are a vital part of the medical community. More people than ever before are recognizing the importance of taking care of their mental health and psychiatrists are seen as trusted professionals.
Modern psychiatrists see patients who are facing a wide array of mental health illnesses, developmental disorders, mood disorders, disordered eating conditions, and more. Psychiatrists are able to assess, diagnose, and create treatment plans for the patient they see. As physicians, psychiatrists are able to prescribe medications and monitor their effects. In addition to medication, psychiatrists can offer counseling, supportive therapies, and rehabilitation treatments.
A psychiatry career offers flexibility. You find work in traditional settings such as hospitals or offices, but also in schools, universities, government facilities, and more. Plus, with the growth of telehealth services, you might even be able to find a job that allows you to see patients from your home. Many psychiatrists work with individual patients, but others might conduct psychiatric research or lead a team of mental health professionals. Psychiatrists are well compensated for their education, expertise, and skills. Data shows that most psychiatrists earn over $200,000 each year.
