Yes they can.
Don't believe the conspiracy theorists out there who say that they're all about mind control - what possible motivation would there be?
And unlike many other practises that claim to help people with mental illness, there is proper empirical support for many areas of psychiatry.
Psychiatrists don't just give out medication, either. If you feel strongly against medication, they are generally trained in a number of effective therapy techniques that can help.

Notwithstanding Tom Cruise's recent outbursts, there are some very questionable practices happening within the "mental health" profession.

A psychiatrist can help with a variety of issues and they don't have to be considered a mental illness. They can assist with anger management, stress management, depression and so on. I would suggest many people could benefit from talking to a professional to help them through their issues.
