A psychiatrist treats thoughts, feeling and behaviors when they are not working right. He/she uses methods such as talk therapy, medications, electricity and sometimes even strong magnets to treat them. Even meditation is being used nowadays. Just like people get physically ill when body is not working right, people get mentally ill when thoughts and feelings are not working right. We can’t see other persons thoughts and feelings, but we can still know them by asking them how they think and how they feel so that we can help them with it. The thoughts and feelings are subtle and a psychiatrist should be very sensitive and treat people with great respect and compassion.
