Answers:
Primary care doctors: In many cases, your primary care doctor may diagnose and treat your mental illness!. When necessary, the primary care doctor will refer you to a specialist!.

Holistic and alternative medicine doctors: These doctors are specialists in complementary and alternative medicines, holistic medicine, nutritional medicine and herbal medicine treatments!. These doctors may be able to prescribe standard medications but often choose different approaches that may combine natural medicines with mental health therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)!. After these doctors determine appropriate wellness plans or treatments, they may recommend other mental health therapists such as life coaches, psychologists or psychoanalysts!.

Psychologists: Psychologists are trained to provide professional counseling on psychological and emotional issues!. They can specialize in areas such as marital counseling, relaxation therapy, stress management or sex therapy!. Psychologists are not allowed to prescribe medications!.

Psychoanalysts: Psychoanalysts follow Sigmund Freud's theories that painful childhood memories contained in the subconscious are the cause of emotional disturbances!. Psychoanalysts are similar to psychologists because they usually deal with emotional issues and may prescribe medication (although they generally do not)!. Psychoanalytic therapy relies on the principle of transference, that is, a pattern of both conscious and unconscious feelings and thoughts about the analyst that reflect similar feelings and thoughts about other important figures in the patient's life (for example, parents)!. The goal of the treatment is to make the unconscious conscious so that the patient can begin to recognize maladaptive patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving that are no longer relevant to their current life circumstances!. While psychotherapy is usually performed on a weekly to monthly schedule, psychoanalytic sessions are conducted 4-5 times a week!.

Psychiatrists: These professionals specialize in the treatment of mental, emotional, or behavioral problems!. A psychiatrist can prescribe medications and may establish therapy sessions to treat the patient!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
