NPs and PAs are critical to psychiatric care, often serving as the first point of contact for patients. Their expanded scope includes prescribing medications and managing treatment plans, allowing them to address both mental and physical health needs. With a focus on holistic care, NPs and PAs build strong patient relationships, fostering trust and adherence to treatment. Their role in telepsychiatry has also improved access to care in underserved areas.
