Are they enough trained? Psychology?

Psychiatry training includes psychotherapy as part of psychiatric residency. A psychiatrist learns assessment and commonly used psychotherapies and is trained to integrate psychotherapy with medication when appropriate. The limited time available for psychiatric consultations, often around 10–20 minutes, may not be sufficient to provide proper CBT or other structured psychotherapies. Moreover, psychotherapy is generally more time-intensive and costly compared with pharmacotherapy. As a result, psychiatrists often tend to focus more on pharmacological treatment. This can sometimes create doubts about a psychiatrist’s efficiency or expertise in providing psychotherapy, even though psychiatrists are trained in psychotherapy as part of their professional training.
