How Do Psychiatrists, Physician Assistants, and Advanced Practice Nurses Help?

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (an M.D. or D.O.) who specializes in mental health, including the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. A psychiatrist has completed medical school, a psychiatry residency, and sometimes additional specialized training.

A physician assistant (PA) is a qualified medical professional (certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants) who practices medicine with physician supervision. In the mental health setting, PAs are involved in developing treatment plans for patients with behavioral health concerns. They also monitor and prescribe medication.

An advanced practice nurse (APN) is a nurse who has completed post-graduate education. In the mental health setting, APNs specialize in psychiatric mental health care. They can assess patients and prescribe medication.

The primary focus of psychiatrists, PAs, and APNs in Endeavor Health Medical Group is medication management. They assess patients and prescribe medication and other treatments for patients who may need medication to address their mental health concerns. After their assessment, they develop treatment plans for patients needing short-term and/or long-term medication. The role of a psychiatrist, PA, and/or APN is to educate the patient on their medication and monitor medication effectiveness.
