Can a Psychiatrist Prescribe Drugs? What Patients Should Know

Yes. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can prescribe medication for mental health conditions. An evaluation helps determine whether medicine could help and which options fit a person’s health history.

A first appointment gives patients time to discuss symptoms and ask questions about treatment. Follow-up visits focus on how the medication is working and whether side effects call for a change.

Radiant Path Therapy and Psychiatry offers psychiatric evaluations and medication management in Redlands. Bring a list of current medicines and any questions to help make the most of the visit.
