Both psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners are involved in the assessment and diagnosis of mental health and substance abuse disorders, and provide treatment through the prescription of medications and/or psychotherapy. These two types of professionals differ primarily in the paths they take to become licensed and certified in their respective fields.
Psychiatrists are medical physicians who specialize in psychiatry after completing medical school and specialty residency training that ranges from four to six years. Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners begin as registered nurses, and then specialize in mental health care by attending either a two or four-year nurse practitioner program.
