文法句型

psychiatric + noun

用法筆記

Frequently appears before nouns naming medical services (care, treatment, help), facilities (hospital, ward, unit), or professionals (nurse, doctor, team). Unlike psychological, which covers general mental processes and behaviour, psychiatric specifically refers to clinical care by qualified medical doctors.
