Psychiatric malpractice occurs when a mental health care provider, such as a psychiatrist, psychologist, or therapist, fails to provide the standard of care expected in their profession, resulting in harm to a patient. This can include misdiagnosis, improper medication management, failure to prevent patient suicide or self-harm, abuse of the therapist-patient relationship, or neglecting to obtain informed consent for treatment.
