Whats the difference between a Psychiatrist or Psychologist?
Let’s start with what’s common between a Psychiatrist or Psychologist. Both have detailed knowledge of human psychology, and are trained in doing different kinds of therapies to help people deal with emotional and behavioral difficulties. Now let’s look at what’s different between them. Psychiatrists are medical doctors trained in mind, body and medicine. They’re trained to do more comprehensive bio-psycho-social evaluation of your problem & make appropriate recommendations. If medications are required, they’re able to prescribe & follow-up on efficacy and any evident side-effects of the medication.
