Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about psychiatry and booking a psychiatrist
What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist?
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can prescribe medications and provide therapy. A psychologist holds a doctoral degree in psychology and primarily provides psychotherapy but cannot prescribe medications in India.
Is seeing a psychiatrist confidential?
Yes. All consultations are strictly confidential under medical ethics. Information is only shared with other treating doctors with your consent, or in rare cases involving safety.
Do I need a referral to see a psychiatrist?
No referral is needed. You can book directly on Doctorato. However, if you are already seeing a GP or therapist, sharing their notes can help the psychiatrist provide better care.
