Who Is a Psychiatrist?

A psychiatrist is a licensed medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions. They are qualified to assess symptoms, prescribe medication, and create treatment plans tailored to each individual. Psychiatrists work with people facing challenges like depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, and other psychological conditions.

Through Medicas, you can consult a trusted psychiatrist online using our secure platform — right from your home, office, or anywhere across Barbados.

• You’ve been feeling down, hopeless, or emotionally numb for weeks
• You experience sudden mood swings, irritability, or overwhelming anger
• Anxiety or panic makes it hard to function or relax
