Psychiatrists are medical doctors (MDs) who specialise in mental health. They can prescribe medication and often focus on the biological aspects of mental health conditions. Psychologists have doctoral degrees in psychology and specialise in talk therapy and psychological testing. At Diip we offer both, and often a combined approach works best.

Not everyone who sees a psychiatrist needs medication. During your initial evaluation we'll go over all treatment options, including therapy, lifestyle changes, and medication. If medication is recommended, we'll explain the benefits, risks, and what to expect. The decision is collaborative. You're in control of your treatment.
