The number of psychiatrists in Norway saw no significant changes in 2021 in comparison to the previous year 2020 and remained at around 1392 psychiatrists. Still, the number of psychiatrists reached its highest value in the observed period in 2021. 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.
