In 2021, the number of psychiatrists in Ireland decreased by 68 psychiatrists (-6.61 percent) since 2020. Nevertheless, the last two years recorded a significant higher number of psychiatrists than the preceding years. A psychiatrist owns a medical doctor's degree, specialized in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental health conditions. Thus, psychiatrists are allowed to prescribe medication which, in many countries, distinguishes them from psychologists/psychotherapists. Psychiatrists can also be trained in specialty areas of psychiatry like neuropsychiatry or child psychiatry.
