The number of psychiatrists in Austria increased by 56 psychiatrists (+2.91 percent) in 2022 in comparison to the previous year. With 1,983 psychiatrists, the number of psychiatrists thereby reached its highest value in the observed period. Notably, the number of psychiatrists continuously increased over the last 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.
