	Definition of a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The child and adolescent psychiatrist is a Doctor of Medicine or Doctor of Osteopathy who specializes in the diagnosis and, if indicated, the treatment of disorders of thinking, feeling and/or behavior affecting children, adolescents, and their families.
		Although the ABPN examinations are not required for practice, they are a further assurance that the child and adolescent psychiatrist with these certifications can be expected to diagnose and treat all psychiatric conditions in patients of any age and to contribute in many ways to serve the welfare and interests of children and their families.
		The child and adolescent psychiatrist, as any other physician, continues to study and learn about the new advances in the specialty by reading scientific literature and attending conferences to be able to apply new knowledge effectively in daily diagnostic, therapeutic, and consultive work.

	Dr. Andrew K. Black - What does a Psychiatrist actually do?
		A further important requirement is for the Psychiatrist to possess the skills necessary to elicit specific information from the patient, by a combination of asking appropriate questions and observing and listening to the patient and others involved in his or her care.
		Apart from helping the patient directly, by fostering an atmosphere of mutual confidence, the Psychiatrist is helped enormously in his or her task of eliciting the information necessary to make a diagnosis, if the patient feels reassured by the manner in which the assessment is conducted.
		Psychiatrists are not born with the first two qualities, but Education and Training can help to provide the necessary knowledge and skills.

		A forensic psychiatrist is a medical doctor with, first, the additional training of a psychiatrist, and then with special training and experience (forensic) in the application of psychiatric knowledge to questions posed by the legal system.
		However, when acting in the capacity of a forensic specialist, he or she is not providing therapy to alleviate the patient's suffering or to help the patient be free and healthy, but an objective evaluation for use by the retaining institution, attorney, or court.
		Forensic psychiatrists use their special knowledge of the medical-legal interface to testify in cases of medical malpractice, including the explosion of accusations of sexual exploitation of patients by health professionals.

		I just discovered that my lithium level had fallen from 0.9 in November to 0.6 in February; my psychiatrist had the labs but she missed their significance--she told me that they were "normal" (I guess because 0.6 fell in the lab's "normal" range, and it was marked as such).

	Mental Illness Stigma Information from Mental Health Advocate and Activist, Seattle Psychiatrist, Ron Sterling, M.D.
		Psychiatrists seem to be in denial about the baggage that the profession carries, or they resent it, feel defensive, or opt-out of the public relations domain entirely, waiting for the public to come around.
		A survey done in the United Kingdom in late 2001 revealed that barely one in two people knew that psychiatrists are medically qualified and 8 out of 10 underestimated the length of psychiatric training.
		They are opportunities for psychiatrists to mingle and be seen as something other than gatekeepers, ivory-tower professionals, or removed practitioners.
