What are the differences between a psychiatrist and a psychologist?
Psychologists are trained to observe, measure, and change the cognitions, behaviors and emotional responses of organisms. They learn how to design experimental research and how to carefully interpret data from scientific literature. Those who specialize in clinical psychology become well acquainted with various principles and techniques crucial to diagnosing and treating people with significant life struggles and with mental illnesses. They closely study the factors that affect the course of all human relationships, including those that influence a therapeutic relationship. Psychiatrists are trained to recognize and understand medical diseases as well as the neurological and physiological processes involved in mental illnesses. They learn how to administer psychoactive drugs and other somatic procedures (e.g., electroconvulsive shock) in order to mitigate the symptoms of mental illnesses. ▲TOP of Page Nutrition What is healthy eating?
