When to see a psychiatrist?
A psychiatrist is a doctor specialised in mental health disorders. They assess symptoms, make a diagnosis, start and monitor medication and assess the need for psychotherapy. The first appointment is often longer, about an hour.
About 6 % of the population has depression at any one time. Kela's rehabilitative psychotherapy needs a psychiatrist's B statement after at least three months of treatment. Kela reimburses a larger share of a psychiatrist appointment than of most doctor's visits.
People see a psychiatrist for example for long-lasting depression or anxiety, sleep disorders, a medication review or the statement needed for rehabilitative psychotherapy.
