Usage Note

Psichiatrico agrees in gender and number with its noun: ospedale psichiatrico (m), clinica psichiatrica (f), ospedali psichiatrici (m pl). The initial ps- cluster is pronounced — unlike in English, Italians do not drop the p. The noun is psichiatra (psychiatrist), which is the same form for both genders (distinguished by article: lo psichiatra / la psichiatra).

"È ricoverato in un reparto psichiatrico."
