What is the difference between a psychologist and psychiatrist?​

Psychologists and psychiatrists are both mental health professionals, but they differ in their training and approach to treatment. Psychologists typically hold a doctoral degree (Ph.D. or Psy.D.) in psychology and focus on providing therapy, counselling, and psychological testing to help individuals cope with emotional, behavioural, and mental health issues. They often use talk therapy and behavioural interventions to address a wide range of concerns.

On the other hand, psychiatrists are medical doctors (MD.) who specialise in mental health. They are trained to diagnose and treat mental illnesses through a combination of therapy and medication management. Psychiatrists can prescribe medication to alleviate symptoms of mental disorders and may also provide psychotherapy alongside pharmacological interventions.​
