Best Answer

Who treats mentally disturbed patients depends on the setting and the rate of reimbursement for services. Commonly today a psychiatrist may evaluate a patient and prescribe medication but much of the actual counseling/therapy is provided by psychiatric social workers or licensed mental health counselors or clinical psychologist or counseling psychologists.
