Frequently Asked Questions — Adult Psychiatrist in Boston
What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a therapist?
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (MD/DO) who can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medications in addition to providing therapy. A therapist (psychologist, counselor, or social worker) provides talk therapy but cannot prescribe medication. At Psych Boston, our adult psychiatrists in Boston offer both medication management and therapeutic guidance under one roof.
How do I know if I need an adult psychiatrist in Boston?
You may benefit from seeing an adult psychiatrist if you experience persistent sadness or anxiety, difficulty functioning at work or home, sleep problems, mood swings, trauma symptoms, or have tried therapy without sufficient relief. Our psychiatrists can evaluate your symptoms and recommend the most effective treatment path.
Does Psych Boston offer online adult psychiatry consultations?
Yes. We offer secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth consultations for adult psychiatric care. You can complete your initial evaluation, follow-up appointments, and medication management sessions online — from anywhere in Massachusetts.
How long does the first adult psychiatric appointment take?
Your initial psychiatric evaluation typically takes 45 to 60 minutes. This allows our psychiatrists to thoroughly understand your history, symptoms, and goals before recommending a personalized treatment plan.
Does Psych Boston accept insurance for adult psychiatry?
We accept most major insurance plans. Coverage varies by plan and provider. We recommend calling our office at 781-218-9550 or emailing meetus@psychboston.com to verify your benefits before your first appointment.
What medications do adult psychiatrists at Psych Boston prescribe?
Depending on your diagnosis, our psychiatrists may prescribe antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, mood stabilizers, ADHD medications, or sleep aids. All prescriptions are carefully managed with regular follow-up to ensure safety and effectiveness.
