What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist and other mental health professionals?
Dr. Jeffrey Schwartz, M.D. is a board-certified psychiatrist. Of all mental health professionals, only a psychiatrist is a licensed physician. Only a psychiatrist has graduated from medical school and completed a four year training period following medical school which has focused on mental health experiences in a variety of outpatient and inpatient settings. Only a psychiatrist, as opposed to all other mental health professionals, is experienced in and licensed in the State of California to prescribe medications, including psychoactive medications.
