Psychiatrists help people suffering from hallucinations and delusions of lower severity as well. Thanks to the advancements in modern medicine, many borderline psychiatric patients can expect to see a full recovery. Psychiatrists are expected to have an immaculate understanding of psychological fundamentals, along with the psychotherapy skills to handle patients with minimal medication. Disorders like phobias, depression and anxiety are now effectively curable through psychotherapy. Psychiatrists resort to medication only when therapy appears to be ineffective on its own.

Psychiatrists need to be excellent communicators and possess an advanced level of emotional intelligence for their work.
