The answer is A.
A psychiatrist and a psycologist both deal with mental diseases/disorders. The difference is that a psychiatrist meets with peope and prescribes medicine. A psycologist studies different disorders and cases of people who have had these disorders and pieces it together.
A sociologist is a person who studies past and present cultures and societies and identifies different trends and traits that each has.
A social worker is a person who deals with child abuse cases.
I hope you understand why it is A now-----good luck!

A. Psychiatrist.
Schizophrenia is a mental disorder. Psychiatrists and Psychologists help people with mental disorders. But, a dangerous level means the person needs to be treated aggressively, probably with drugs. Only a Psychiatrist can prescribe drugs (of the four possible answers). So, the answer is A.

I think, it would be "all of the above". It takes a whole community of professionals to help a person with this disease.

Psychiatrist... they are medical docters who specialize in the psychy (mental problems, disorders and such). They are the only one out of the group that can prescribe medicine.
