Private Psychiatry in Milton Keynes

Psychiatry is a branch of medicine that deals with the study and treatment of people suffering from a wide range of mental health conditions.

Psychiatric treatment helps to give patients an understanding of their condition and delivers treatment for the management of, and in some instance’s recovery from, a mental illness.

In contrast to Psychology, Psychiatric treatment often involves the use of medication to manage symptoms and treat the patient.
