Research Notes on How to Find a Psychiatrist
There are a few sources you can use to find a psychiatrist appropriate for your treatment needs. Your health care insurance company should have a list of approved psychiatrists in your community covered by your insurance plan. You can also consult your general health care provider about accredited psychiatrists in your area.1
Fast Facts:
- Treatment styles vary by psychiatrist; call your top choices before making any appointments and ask about the psychiatrist's specialties.1
- Do not be ashamed about asking family members or friends for advice about psychiatrists they may have seen.2
- The Psychiatry Department at a local college, or the Psychiatry Ward at the local hospital may be able to refer you to a good psychiatrist.2
- Set up a short consultation with the psychiatrist before you choose him or her for treatment; this short meeting will allow you to become familiar with the psychiatrist and staff before treatment begins.2
