What is a DO in psychiatry?

In: Health, Doctors, Psychiatry [Edit categories]

Answer:

The DO has a slightly different approach in terms of patient care and treatment. The DO unlike the traditional MD approaches sickness from a more holistic approach treating the patient as a whole person rather than just the parts of the person. The DO also holds a firm belief of the body's healing power, and strive to facilitate the process.
